How to Make S’mores Cookie Cups

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips.
7. Divide the cookie dough evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing it down slightly to form a base.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and immediately press a few mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie cup.
10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the marshmallows are slightly toasted.
11. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Optional: Top with additional chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs before serving.

Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to customize your S’mores Cookie Cups! Here are some fun ideas:

• Use whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
• Swap out the mini chocolate chips for peanut butter chips for a twist.
• Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combo.
• If you love coconut, add some sweetened shredded coconut to the batter!

Tips for Success

To ensure your cookie cups turn out perfectly, keep these tips in mind:

• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; mix until just combined for soft, chewy cookies.
• If the marshmallows start to puff up too much, keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
• You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.

How to Store S’mores Cookie Cups

Your S’mores Cookie Cups can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can also refrigerate them, but they may lose some of their chewiness. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They should last for about 2 months in the freezer.

FAQs

• Can I make these cookie cups gluten-free? Yes! Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour.
• Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini? Absolutely! Just cut them in half before pressing them into the cookie cups.
• How do I know when the cookie cups are done baking? Look for golden brown edges and a slightly soft center that will firm up as they cool.
