Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Enjoy:
Enjoy your S’mores Cookies with a glass of milk or as a sweet treat at any gathering. These cookies bring the joy of camping indoors, delivering a delightful twist on a beloved treat.
Serving Tips:
Warm Them Up: For an extra gooey experience, warm the cookies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving.

Ice Cream Sandwiches: Turn these cookies into delicious ice cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies.
Dessert Platter: Include these cookies in a dessert platter with other treats like brownies, cupcakes, and fruit for a delightful spread.
Storage Tips:
Airtight Container: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain their freshness.

Reheating: When ready to enjoy, let the cookies thaw at room temperature, or microwave them for a few seconds to regain their gooey texture.
Avoid Moisture: Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent moisture from making the cookies soggy. Place a piece of parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking together.

FAQs:
Can I use margarine instead of butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter in this recipe. However, butter tends to give the cookies a richer flavor and better texture. If using margarine, ensure it is a good-quality one to achieve the best results.
How can I prevent the marshmallows from melting too much during baking?
To prevent the marshmallows from melting excessively, make sure they are mixed into the dough and not placed on top. If you want marshmallows on top, press them lightly into the dough just before baking, and watch closely to avoid over-browning.
Can I make the dough ahead of time and bake the cookies later?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, let the dough come to room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and baking as directed.
What can I use if I don’t have graham cracker crumbs?
If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, you can crush whole graham crackers using a food processor or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Alternatively, digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers can be used as a substitute.
