Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just a sweet indulgence, this recipe is easy to make and delivers the classic s’mores experience in cookie form. Follow this simple guide to bake up a batch of warm, chewy, and absolutely irresistible s’mores cookies!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s perfectly heated by the time your cookies are ready to bake.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined to form the cookie dough.
Add Mix-ins:
Now, the best part! Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs. These are what give the cookies their signature s’mores flavor and texture.
Scoop and Bake:
Scoop the cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scoop as the cookies will spread. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up while staying chewy and soft in the middle.
Serving Tips:
Warm and Gooey: For the best experience, serve the s’mores cookies warm! This will highlight the gooey marshmallow and melty chocolate goodness. Simply pop the cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving to get that fresh-out-of-the-oven texture.
Pair with Milk: Like classic chocolate chip cookies, s’mores cookies pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk. For an extra treat, serve with hot cocoa topped with marshmallows to complement the cookie flavors.
S’mores Sandwich: For a fun twist, make mini s’mores cookie sandwiches by adding a layer of marshmallow fluff or a chocolate spread between two cookies. This takes the s’mores experience to the next level!
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store your s’mores cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. To maintain their softness, you can add a slice of bread to the container—the bread will help absorb moisture and keep the cookies chewy.
Refrigeration: If you want to keep them fresh for a little longer, place the cookies in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They will last up to 1 week. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature or warm them slightly before serving.
Freezing: These cookies also freeze well! Once cooled, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen cookies to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let the cookies thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back their soft texture.

FAQs:
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can use regular-sized marshmallows, but it’s best to cut them into smaller pieces to ensure they melt evenly in the cookies. Mini marshmallows distribute better throughout the dough and create a nice gooey texture.
Can I substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate?
Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor or dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet taste. You can even mix different types of chocolate chips for a more complex flavor.
Why did my marshmallows melt and disappear in the cookies?
Marshmallows can sometimes melt completely if exposed too long to heat. To prevent this, try placing a few marshmallows on top of each cookie dough ball just before baking, so they toast rather than melt into the dough.
Can I freeze the cookie dough for later use?
Yes! You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Simply scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, just pop them in the oven, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
Conclusion:
This recipe combines everything you love about s’mores into a portable, no-campfire-required treat. The balance of sweet chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and the crumbly graham crackers makes these cookies an instant crowd-pleaser. Whether it’s a summer BBQ, a holiday treat, or a weeknight dessert, these s’mores cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
