How to Make mini smore cookie skillets
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease six 4-inch cast iron skillets or oven-safe ramekins.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- Divide the cookie dough evenly among the prepared skillets, pressing it down gently. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and marshmallows evenly on top of each skillet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the marshmallows are puffed and slightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. The centers will be gooey and warm—perfect for digging in with a spoon.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Don’t overbake; the centers should remain soft and gooey.
- Graham cracker crumbs add authentic flavor—crush your own for the best taste.
- If you don’t have mini marshmallows, chop regular marshmallows into small pieces.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover mini smore cookie skillets covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to bring back that melty, warm texture.
You can also freeze the skillets wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips?
Yes! Chop your favorite chocolate bars into small chunks and use them in place of the chips. This can add a richer texture and melt even more decadently.
What if I don’t have mini skillets or ramekins?
You can bake this recipe in a standard muffin tin or a small baking dish. Adjust baking time slightly and keep an eye on the marshmallows to prevent burning.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store the dough tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring it to room temperature before dividing into skillets and baking.
Are these mini smore cookie skillets gluten-free?
Not as written, since they contain all-purpose flour and graham cracker crumbs. You can substitute gluten-free flour and gluten-free graham crackers to make a gluten-free version.
