S’mores Cookies

Chewy, gooey, and chocolatey s’mores cookies are truly irresistible little bites of heaven. Packed with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, these cookies are a year-round treat for your taste buds!

Why this recipe works

S’mores cookies are soft, chewy, and jam-packed with all the classic s’mores fixin’s. These are great when it’s a bit too chilly to get the campfire going, but you’re craving a s’more.

I have to say, it’s possibly even better that these are in cookie form, right? Though, we do have a bit of a cookie obsession on this blog. These are fairly similar to our Mississippi mud cookies and hot cocoa cookies as they feature chocolate and marshmallows. But s’mores cookies highlight the whole package with the addition of graham cracker crumbs. These are a bit addicting, I’m warning you!

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

DOUGH – Like most classic cookie doughs we’re using all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar. But the fun part of these cookies is the addition of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows to the dough.

MARSHMALLOWS – The standard mini-marshmallows work perfectly for this. We do not recommend those tiny marshmallows made for hot chocolate. If you have only large marshmallows, do not add any to the batter, simply squish one into the center of the cookie after the initial 5 minutes of baking. If that seems too large for your cookies, cut the large marshmallow in half before squishing on top.

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for 1 minute. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
3. Switch the stand mixer to a paddle attachment. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined.
4. Add the mini marshmallows, chopped chocolate, and crumbled graham crackers to the dough, while reserving about a 1/2 cup of marshmallows and chocolate chunks for topping. Give a quick mix, careful not to over beat.
5. Using a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop (about 1-1/2 Tablespoons), scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 5 minutes until cookies are just about set. Remove from the oven and top with additional mini-marshmallows and chocolate chunks. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes for the cookies to finish baking and marshmallows star to puff.
7. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 2 minutes, and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Absolutely, this cookie dough freezes really well. I’d suggest prepping the dough and rolling them into balls. Flash freeze them for 30 minutes to an hour, then remove and place the dough balls in a ziptop bag or an air-tight container. Place them back in the freezer for up to 3 months. Flash freezing the dough balls will help them not stick together.
