🧰 Equipment Needed

Make sure you’ve got the following gear ready before you begin:

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone mats
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Wire cooling rack

🛒 Ingredients

🥚 Produits frais:

  • 2 large eggs

🧁 Aides culinaires et épices:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

🍪 Biscuits apéritifs:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

🧈 Produits laitiers:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

🍬 Desserts:

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick mats.


Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Set aside.


Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together:

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Beat for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.


Step 4: Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Add in:

  • 2 eggs (one at a time)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix well, scraping down the bowl.


Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.


Step 6: Fold in Chocolate and Marshmallows

Gently stir in:

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1½ cups mini marshmallows

Reserve ½ cup of marshmallows to press on top before baking.


Step 7: Scoop and Shape

Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Gently flatten the tops and press a few reserved marshmallows and chocolate chips into each cookie.


Step 8: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft. Don’t overbake — they’ll continue to cook on the sheet.


Step 9: Cool

Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.


🍽️ Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 24 cookies
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Bake Time: 10–12 minutes per batch
  • Total Time: ~30 minutes

Great for sharing, gifting, or enjoying warm right out of the oven!


🧊 Storage & Reheating

Storage:

  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.

Freezing:

  • Freeze raw dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.

Reheating:

  • Microwave for 10–12 seconds for that gooey marshmallow texture.

Pro Tip: Warm s’mores cookies are heavenly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!


🥄 Variations

Put your own spin on these gooey favorites:

  • S’mores Stuffed Cookies: Add a square of chocolate and a marshmallow inside the dough ball for molten centers.
  • Peanut Butter Twist: Mix in ½ cup of peanut butter or add PB chips.
  • Campfire Toasted: Broil finished cookies for 1–2 minutes for that roasted marshmallow look.
  • Salted Caramel Drizzle: Add a caramel swirl and a sprinkle of sea salt after baking.
  • Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free graham crackers and flour.
  • Nutty S’mores: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
  • White Chocolate S’mores: Substitute milk or white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

❓ 10 FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought graham cracker crumbs?

Yes — they save time and work great in this recipe.

2. Will regular marshmallows work?

Mini marshmallows are best. If using large ones, chop them into small pieces.

3. How do I make them extra gooey?

Underbake by 1 minute and eat them slightly warm.

4. Why do my marshmallows melt too much?

That’s normal — they melt into gooey pockets. Reserving some to place on top helps them stay visible.

5. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely! Chill in the fridge for up to 48 hours or freeze for longer storage.

6. What’s the best chocolate to use?

Semi-sweet chips are classic, but milk chocolate or chopped chocolate bars also work.

7. How do I keep them from spreading too much?

Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.

8. Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Butter is best for flavor, but margarine can work in a pinch.

9. How do I make them chewy?

Don’t overbake! Pull them out when the centers are just set.

10. Can I double the recipe?

Yes — it scales well. Use two baking sheets and rotate halfway through.


🏁 Conclusion

These Amazing S’mores Cookies bring together everything you love about campfire treats — melty chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and buttery graham goodness — all in one soft and chewy cookie. Whether you’re baking for a holiday, party, or just a late-night craving, they’re easy to make and impossible to resist.

Skip the tent and open fire — your kitchen is all you need to experience s’mores bliss in every bite. Grab a glass of milk, a warm cookie, and relive those fireside moments, no campfire required.
