Why You’ll Love This Giant S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie.

• Perfect for sharing (or not!) and always a huge hit at gatherings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Salted Butter: Make sure it’s at room temperature! This helps it cream beautifully with the sugars, creating a smooth base for your cookie dough. If you only have unsalted, just add another 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
• Dark Brown Sugar: This gives the cookie its wonderful chewiness and a deeper, molasses-rich flavor. You can use 3/4 cup for an even sweeter cookie, or stick to 1/2 cup for a more balanced sweetness.
• Large Eggs: Like the butter, room temperature eggs emulsify better with the other ingredients, leading to a more uniform dough.
• Vanilla Extract: Don’t skimp on the vanilla! It enhances all the flavors in the cookie.
• All-Purpose Flour: The backbone of our cookie. Make sure to measure it correctly – spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off.
• Baking Soda: This is our leavening agent, helping the cookie rise and get that perfect soft texture.
• Kosher Salt: Balances the sweetness and brings out all the other flavors.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Classic chocolate chip cookie goodness! You can also use milk chocolate or a mix.
• Graham Crackers: Broken into bite-size pieces, these are essential for that s’mores crunch.
• Marshmallows: The star of the s’mores show! Use regular-sized marshmallows.
• Hershey Chocolate Bars: Breaking them into pieces ensures you get that melty chocolate goodness in every bite.
• Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chunks (optional): If you’re a serious chocolate lover, these add an extra layer of richness.
• Flaky Sea Salt (optional): A little sprinkle at the end really elevates the flavors and adds a beautiful touch.

How to Make Giant S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. Step by Step

First things first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. While it’s warming up, grab your favorite 10-12 inch oven-safe skillet and give it a light buttering. This helps prevent sticking and gives the cookie a lovely golden crust!

Now, in a big mixing bowl, we’re going to combine the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat them together until they’re nice and combined – you want it to look light and fluffy. Next, beat in your eggs, one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla until everything is super creamy. Finally, add your flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix! Gently fold in those semi-sweet chocolate chips.

This is where the magic happens! Take about a third of your cookie dough and spread it evenly into the bottom of your prepared skillet. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth. Now, arrange your broken graham crackers over that dough, then nestle in your marshmallows and Hershey’s chocolate pieces. Take the remaining cookie dough and gently spread it over the marshmallows and chocolate. It’s totally okay if a few marshmallows peek through – they’ll get wonderfully toasted!

My Top Tips for Success

• I always make sure my butter and eggs are at room temperature. It makes such a difference in the texture of the dough!
• Don’t overmix your dough once the flour is added. Just mix until combined to keep the cookie tender.
• Trust me on this one: a little sprinkle of flaky sea salt right after baking takes this skillet cookie to another level.
• If you want that extra-gooey center, bake for the shorter time (20-22 minutes). For a more set cookie, go for the longer time (22-25 minutes).
• This cookie is best served warm, straight from the skillet, with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using cold butter or eggs: This can lead to a lumpy dough and an inconsistent texture. Always bring them to room temperature first!
• Overmixing the dough: Once you add the flour, mix only until just combined. Overmixing develops the gluten too much, resulting in a tough cookie.
• Overbaking: Keep an eye on it! An overbaked skillet cookie will be dry instead of gloriously gooey. It’s okay if the center looks a little soft when you pull it out; it will continue to set as it cools.
• Not buttering the skillet: While it’s a cookie, a lightly buttered skillet helps with easy serving and a nice crust.

How to Store Giant S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie.

• Room Temperature: Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. It will stay fresh for 2-3 days.
• Refrigerator: Cover tightly. It will last for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven for that warm, gooey experience.
• Freezer: Once completely cooled, cut into individual portions. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this in a regular baking dish instead of a skillet?

Yes, you can! A 9×9 inch square baking dish or a similarly sized round cake pan would work. Just be sure to butter it well.

What kind of chocolate chips should I use?

Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but feel free to use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a mix! Chocolate chunks would also be delicious.

Can I add other toppings?

Absolutely! A drizzle of chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts would be fantastic additions.

How do I know when the cookie is done?

The edges should be set and lightly golden, and the center will still look a bit soft and gooey. Remember, it will continue to cook slightly as it cools.

Can I double the recipe?

You can! You’ll need a larger skillet (like a 12-14 inch) or you could divide the dough between two smaller skillets. Adjust baking time as needed.

I genuinely hope you give this Giant S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie a try. It’s such a fun, comforting, and utterly delicious treat that always brings smiles. If you make it, I’d absolutely love to hear how it turned out for you!
