Ingredients Needed
- butter – allow time for the butter to soften to room temperature before using
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- eggs – let them come to room temperature
- vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- salt
- cornstarch
- baking soda
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- mini marshmallows
- whole graham crackers – coarsely crushed
- Hershey chocolate bars – we used the fun-sized bars, broken in pieces
How to Make Chewy Smores Cookies (in the air fryer)
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugars.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla just until combined.
In separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture, stirring after each addition.
Fold in the chocolate chips, 1.5 cups of marshmallows, ยพ cup of the graham cracker crumbs, and half of the broken candy bars.
Place a parchment paper liner in the air fryer basket and lightly spritz with oil.
Use a cookie scoop to make cookie dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie). Place the dough in the basket, making sure to leave space in between each dough ball.
Air fry for 8 minutes.
Pull out the basket and top each cookie with 1 to 2 marshmallows, graham cracker pieces, and chocolate chunks.
Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are golden brown.
Allow the smores cookies to cool in the basket for 3 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Oven Baked Smores Cookies
Follow the same instructions for mixing the cookie dough. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the cookies for 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Allow them to cool on the pan for a couple minutes before transferring to a baking rack to finish cooling.
Tips for Making
- For thicker cookies: scoop cookie dough and chill for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you are using large marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Wait to place the parchment liner in the air fryer until after it’s preheated and you’re ready to put the dough balls in the basket.
- If you like a little char on your marshmallows (that would be me!), use a small kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows after you’ve removed cookies from the air fryer.
Variations
- Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips in place of the semi-sweet chocolate if preferred.
- If you don’t have the mini Hershey bars feel free to use the larger bars.
- You can also add in nuts or shredded coconut for a fun twist.
How to Store
- Keep completely cooled leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
- To freeze, place the cooled cookies in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
