Ingredients

For the Cookie Cups:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 mini chocolate bars divided
• 12 large marshmallows, halved

Directions

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.

• Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
  In a medium bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

• Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars
  In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

• Step 4: Combine Ingredients
  Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.

• Step 5: Form the Cookie Cups
  Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin tin cup, pressing down slightly to form a small well in the center.

• Step 6: Bake the Cookie Cups
  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and slightly firm.

• Remove from the oven and immediately press a piece of chocolate into the center of each cup.

• Step 7: Add the Marshmallows
  Top each cookie cup with a halved marshmallow, cut side down.

• Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows are slightly puffed.

• Step 8: Broil for the Perfect Toast
  For a toasted marshmallow effect, switch the oven to broil for 30-60 seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.

• Step 9: Cool and Serve
  Allow the cookie cups to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving and Storage

Serving Suggestions

• These cookie cups are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the chocolate is melted and the marshmallow is gooey.

• Pair with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate treat.

• Serve at parties or pack them for a sweet picnic snack.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the chocolate and marshmallow.

• Freezing: Freeze cookie cups in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw before serving.

Tips for Success

• Use High-Quality Chocolate: A good-quality chocolate bar melts better and enhances the overall flavor.

• Press the Dough Firmly: Creating a well in the dough ensures space for the chocolate and marshmallow.

• Monitor the Broiling Time: The marshmallows toast quickly, so keep a close eye to prevent burning.

• Use a Mini Muffin Tin: This shape helps the cookie cups hold their filling perfectly.

• Let Them Set Slightly: Allowing them to cool a little before serving helps the chocolate firm up slightly without losing its gooeyness.

Variations

• Peanut Butter S’mores Cups – Add a small spoonful of peanut butter before placing the chocolate inside.

• Nutella S’mores Cups – Swap the chocolate for Nutella for a rich, hazelnut flavor.

• Dark Chocolate Lovers – Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a deeper cocoa taste.

• Gluten-Free Option – Use gluten-free graham crackers and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
