S’MORES COOKIE
Yesterday was busy with swimming, BBQing, and relaxing. My Laundry Monday turned into Laundry Tuesday topped with an additional load of damp swimming towels.
Being the good parents we are we counted swimming as baths for the kids and sent them to bed smelling of sunblock.
Then as I snuggled on the couch to write a post about these cookies I brought to our BBQ I just…could not…keep…my eyes…open. *Snooze*
S’MORES COOKIES RECIPE
This S’mores Cookies recipe are a perfect hello to summer. I’ve seen these floating around the web and you know how much I loved these S’mores Bars so I had to give ’em a try.
These delicious cookies have a graham cracker base and chocolate chip cookies are sprinkled with chocolate and marshmallows topping it.
The crunch of the graham cracker with the gooey cookie is the perfect combination.
INGREDIENTS
- GRAHAM CRACKERS – we’re not using graham cracker crumbs her but large graham cracker pieces to get that graham flavor.
- BUTTER – you want to use softened butter but still cold butter .
- BROWN SUGAR
- WHITE SUGAR
- EGGS
- VANILLA EXTRACT – always use pure vanilla and not imitation.
- BAKING SODA
- SALT
- ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- MINI MARSHMALLOWS – Gooey marshmallows are folded into the cookie dough. Large marshmallows would be overkill here.
- HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE – a square of a Hershey bars goes right on top of the cookie for that iconic s’mores with the milk chocolate taste.
Place one and a half tablespoons of dough on each graham cracker square using a cookie scoop.
Yum

S’mores Cookies
Ingredients
- 11 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- optional 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 3 regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces
- 2-3 packages graham crackers, broken into squares
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with white and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon (if using) to combine. Set aside.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixer and combine on low speed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Lay out graham crackers squares side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching). You may have to add or remove graham crackers according to how much dough you have but I usually use around 36. If you want your cookies thicker you will use more dough and less graham crackers.
- Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough on each graham cracker square. about 1 – 1 ½ inches apart. For extra s'mores look, I like to press 1-2 mini marshmallows right on top of the dough balls.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes. They will be done when the edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
- After cookies have cooled for about 2-3 minutes, press the Hershey’s bar pieces on to the top. You can place as many pieces or as little as you want depending how much chocolate flavor you want. I like to add a tiny sprinkle of flaky salt on top. For clean cutting make sure cookies are completely cool and cut with a sharp knife.
Grandson and I made best cookies ever
Thank you!
I love s’mores and these are a fun twist on them. I only needed a small batch, so I halved the ingredients and they turned out perfect. Mine ended up making about 16 (partly because I couldn’t stop eating the batter!). Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you!
Very nice recipe!
I did not flatten the cookie before baking, but used the Hershey block to smush it a bit after baking.
Love the crunch of the graham, along with the chocolaty, gooey tops.
A new favorite!
I baked at 350 for 13 minutes.
Thank you!
Excellent! They look different than “just a cookie”! All loved them!
Thank you!!
The pictures show a perfect Hershey square with the lettering, but the video and instructions say to bake additional time with After you add the square and it is melted into a little blob. Could you please clarify? Thank you.
Sorry yes. The video was made a while ago. We’ve found that we like adding the Hersheys after they are baked fully so they don’t melt into puddles.
This recipe is amazing!!! 😍
I’ve made it twice now and everyone loves these
Thank you 🤗
so glad you liked it
These are insanely delicious! Thank you 😍😋
Thank you!
I’m confused….at the end of the recipe instructions it says to cut apart. I thought they were already on separate crackers?
Sorry. Sometimes they leak onto each other. You’re right it’s not necessary
These cookies were fantastic !!
Yay! Thanks
Love this recipe! I make a massive two batches every year and gift it to friends. Everyone LOVES these cookies!
So happy to hear that.
Great recipe. My only complaint is that is yields 4 dozen, not 3 on a perfect cookie scoop. Just froze the rest, wrote instructions on it, and gave it as a present. They were delicious and perfectly cooked. We have a gas double oven.
Great idea!
Can you use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper?
Sure!
Love these cookies they are always a hit! Perfect for summer or fall
Thanks! We love these too!
I love this recipe, my aunt used to make these cookies all of the time. I just made them for the first time today and my marshmallows melted into the dough while they were baking. I’m not sure why this happened, any tips on how to prevent that?
I have always wanted the marshmallow to melt. What was your oven temp?
That doesn’t happen for me but you could definitely freeze them before adding them to the dough.
Do these store well? How far in advance can you make these?
Yes, they store well. In Florida it gets humid though.
I topped mine with half of a marshmallow rather than the chocolate bar. It made the cookie chewier but still delicious!!!!!
Nice!!
These are always a hit when I make them!! Do these freeze well?
YEs, they freeze well!
These look absolutely delicious! Not sure why some people say they look plain. They look so perfect, like something you would get from a bakery. On that note, I have a question…do you center the tablespoon of dough on each graham cracker square or do you purposely want to kind of make them off centered? I want to make these on Halloween but I’m hoping they’ll look as pretty as yours. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
ha. They are not off centered on purpose. I would try to center it.
I used store bought cookie dough and added the marshmallows in and let it rest overnight before assembling and baking. They were a hit with my group and easy as could be with my little “cheat”.
I call it being efficient!
Everyone L💗VES S’mores cookies. Doubled reciepie, Baked as directed, bought all new ingredients, baking soda too and used Lakanto monk fruit sweetner, regular and brown instead of cane sugar. (Substitute proportions are same). Baked 1 tray right away, perfect. Baked second tray next day, same, perfect.
Ooh love the substitutions!
This is my new go-to dessert! Making them for the third time already!! GREAT for groups! Seriously they are so amazing!!!! My husband can not get enough! Haha! We love them. I definitely recommend this recipe! Can’t wait to try more from this website!!!
Thank you so much Emily!
We made these and absolutely amazing. Thank you! Any chance for nutrition information per cookie?
I’ll add it now!
I’m sure this is a dumb question for most of you but did u use self rising or AP flour?
Thanks
I always use all-purpose unless I specify.
These are Soo good! The perfect summer treat!😋👍🏼
So glad you like them!
I’ve made these a few times now, and they are the best s’mores cookies ever! Everyone loves them and I always have to refer them to your recipe when they ask for it. Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so glad you loved these.
Great idea! My kiddo will love these!
Mine do!
I love making cookies, and for years I was on the hunt for the perfect cookie recipe. I have made these, exactly as the recipe calls, for at least the last 4 years (maybe longer) and I have never had so many people ask me for a recipe. I have also sent them to dozens of Soldiers deployed overseas, and they keep just fine for the ~10-14 day trip in plastic to-go containers. These are THE BEST!!!!!
Incredible. Was the best cookie I have ever made. These cannot disappoint.
Well these were kind of a pain… I baked on the top rack (about 3 slots down) @ 350. The recommended few minutes was definitely not enough time…I would think maybe 8-9 min. I wanted that roasted look so put on an extra marshmallow with the chocolate and broiled for 1.5 min (watching very carefully). The mallows turned out great but then chocolate looked awful, so the next batch I waited and pressed in the chocolate immediately after taking out the cookies. They were still melty but not unrecognizable. Also, I skipped on the choc chips in the batter as I knew these would be way sweet already. The dough is still somewhat gooey but kind of goes well with the marshmallow consistency.
Sorry!! We love them.
They are heavenly and the family has requested them again.
Ooh. Now I want to make them.
Wondering about storage. What’s the best way to have them keep? Not putting them on cookie trays for Christmas until Friday, not that there will be many left. Thanks!
I would just store them in an air-tight container.
