S’mores Cookie Ingredients

If you’re looking for a recipe for S’mores Cookies – you’ve found the best one! You’ll need these basic ingredients to make these gooey s’mores cookies. You should be able to find most everything in the baking aisle and dairy section.

• Unsalted butter, room temperature – salted butter would also work just fine.
• Granulated white sugar
• Light brown sugar, packed
• Large Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Graham cracker crumbs – you could crush graham cracker pieces yourself if you can’t get your hands on the crumbs.
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Semi-sweet chocolate chunks – chocolate chips would work here as well. You could also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks
• Mini marshmallows – marshmallow bits would also work but they will not have the same gooeyness after baking.
• Hershey bars for topping – is there another brand of milk chocolate bar? 😉 I only know of Hersheys.

How to Make S’mores Cookies

This S’mores cookie recipe is a from-scratch recipe, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an easy recipe! And the combination of marshmallows, graham cracker flavor, and soft chcolate chip cookies with a Hershey bar on top is irrestible. 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
3. Add the butter, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until very well combined.

4. Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and baking powder to a separate bowl and whisk to combine.

5. Add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix with the electric mixer until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula and mix once more to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Add the chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows to the mixing bowl and mix them into the dough with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.

7. Scoop out scant ¼ cup portions of the graham cracker cookie dough, form them into cookie dough balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
8. Break each Hershey’s bar into small pieces and place two on each dough ball, pressing down the top of the cookie slightly. Space them out on the parchment lined baking sheet.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
10. Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Storage Directions

Room Temperature. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer. If you want to make these s’more cookies ahead of time to freeze, here’s my recommendation: roll out your dough but do not add the chocolate pieces on top. Place them on a baking sheet or large plate and freeze until firm. Once solid, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the dough balls on a cookie sheet overnight before baking. Add the pieces of chocolate just before placing in the oven.
