Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix 18.25 ounce
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
- 3 Hershey's chocolate bars 1.55 ounce each, cut into rectangles
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups graham crackers roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and perfect texture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the devil's food cake mix to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined; dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
- Gently fold in mini marshmallows and roughly chopped graham crackers to infuse signature s'mores flavor.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart for spreading.
- Press a piece of Hershey's chocolate bar into the center of each cookie dough mound to create a gooey chocolate center.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers look soft. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Cake Smores Cookies!
