Ingredients for S'mores Skillet Cookie
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make S'mores Skillet Cookie
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan with a little butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Cream the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 4: Add the S'mores Mix-ins
Fold in chocolate chips, chopped milk chocolate, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers. The dough will be thick and chunky—just how we want it!
Step 5: Press and Top
Press the dough evenly into your prepared skillet. Sprinkle extra marshmallows and a few more chocolate chunks on top for those classic s'mores vibes.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set but still soft. For extra gooeyness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to toast the marshmallows (keep an eye on it!).
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let your S'mores Skillet Cookie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, straight from the skillet, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
