I love these S’mores Cookies because they capture the magic of a classic campfire treat in cookie form. Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers, they’re perfect for cozy nights or sharing with friends.
Ingredients
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7 full sheets, crushed)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
Optional: pieces of Hershey's chocolate bar and extra graham cracker bits for topping
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper. Then I cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
After mixing in the eggs and vanilla, I whisk the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl before combining everything.
Next, I fold in the chocolate chips and most of the marshmallows, chilling the dough for 30 minutes if I have time—it really helps them hold shape.
I scoop the dough into balls, top them with extra marshmallows, chocolate, and graham cracker bits, then bake for 10–12 minutes. I let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
Servings and timing
Makes 20–24 cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes (optional but recommended)
Bake Time: 10–12 minutes
Variations
I sometimes mix in different types of chocolate—milk, dark, or white—for a flavor twist. Swapping mini marshmallows for marshmallow fluff inside the dough gives an extra gooey center. For a fun treat, I sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking. I also enjoy adding crushed nuts for a little crunch or using gluten-free graham crackers to make them gluten-free.
Storage/Reheating
I store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If I want to keep them longer, I freeze the dough balls and bake them straight from the freezer, adding 1–2 extra minutes to the bake time. To reheat, I pop individual cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a soft, gooey treat.
FAQs
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes, I often chill the dough for a few hours or even overnight. It makes the cookies thicker and prevents spreading.
Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of chunks?
Absolutely. I use whatever chocolate I have on hand—chunks give a more rustic look, but chips work perfectly.
Can I make these dairy-free?
I can substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free chocolate chips. The texture is slightly different, but still delicious.
Do I have to chill the dough?
It’s optional, but I find chilling helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
Can I freeze the baked cookies?
Yes, I wrap baked cookies tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. I thaw them at room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave.
Conclusion
I absolutely love making these S’mores Cookies—they’re easy, fun, and bring all the flavors of a campfire classic into my kitchen. Every time I bake a batch, I can’t resist sneaking a warm, gooey cookie before anyone else sees them. Perfect for sharing, gifting, or enjoying as a cozy treat with a glass of milk.
