Description
Take everything you love about classic campfire s’mores—melty chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and sweet graham crackers—and smash it into a soft, chewy cookie. These S’mores Cookies are basically the cozy, nostalgic dessert of your dreams without the need for a fire pit or sticky fingers. Picture a golden cookie base loaded with chunks of chocolate, bits of graham cracker, and ooey-gooey marshmallow puddles baked right in. It’s like summer sleepaway camp got a bakery degree.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup crushed graham crackers (about 8 full sheets)
– 1 tsp baking soda
– ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
– ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
– ½ cup brown sugar, packed
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins:
– 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)
– 1 cup mini marshmallows (plus a few extra for topping)
– Optional: a few squares of Hershey’s chocolate bar, broken up
– Extra crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Work
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Base
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Step 3: Bring It Together
Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows. If using Hershey’s squares, save those for topping.
Step 4: Scoop and Shape
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them a few inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Gently press a few extra marshmallows, graham crumbs, and chocolate bits into the tops for that perfect s’mores look.
Step 5: Bake It Up
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look just set. The marshmallows will puff and caramelize — that’s the magic. Let them cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 6: Toasty Finish (Optional but fun)
Want that just-off-the-campfire vibe? Hit the tops with a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows after baking. You’ll feel extremely accomplished.
