OUR FAVORITE SMORES COOKIE RECIPE
I tried several versions of s’mores chocolate chip cookies before finding the one that my family declared to be the winner. I tried some with marshmallow fluff, some with broken graham crackers, some with mini marshmallows, and even one with browned butter.
After years of trying all types of variations, I finally found a winner. We think this smore cookie recipe can’t be beat!
WHY THIS SMORES COOKIES RECIPE IS THE BEST
- A scrumptious brown sugar graham cracker cookie dough makes an extra tasty base for the chocolate and marshmallows. I dare you not to eat a spoonful, it is sooo good!
- The dough has both milk chocolate chips for sweetness, and semi sweet chocolate chips for depth of flavor and ooey gooey meltability.
- Broiling the marshmallows on top of the cookies gives them the perfect flavor of toasted marshmallows.
- You can’t have a s’more without a chocolate bar, so these cookies have one melted on top of the marshmallow. The incredible classic s’more flavor that everyone loves!
How do you make smores cookies from scratch?
- PREP WORK: Crush the graham crackers. (I like to use my food processor.) Unwrap the Hershey bars and break them into 12 rectangles. Cut each of the large marshmallows in half so that you have two circles. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Make traditional cookie dough by creaming the butter and sugar, beating in the eggs and vanilla, and stirring in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips.
- Roll dough into balls and place on lightly greased or silicone lined baking pans about 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for about 5 minutes, then place a marshmallow, cut side down, in the middle of each cookie.
- Bake for another 3-4 minutes, or until marshmallow is melted and cookie is lightly browned around the edges.
- Turn the oven to broil, and broil cookies for about a minute, watching closely. As soon as the marshmallows are toasted, remove the pan from the oven.
- Immediately place a square of chocolate on top of each marshmallow.
- Let cookies cool for 2-3 minutes on the pan, then carefully remove to cooling racks.
We definitely think they are best warm while the marshmallows are still gooey. Seriously, beyond delicious!
PRO TIPS:
- It is easier to cut the marshmallows if you use a scissor dipped in hot water.
- Fresh marshmallows melt the best, so I like to use a brand new, unopened bag.
- Watch your cookies VERY closely while you are broiling the marshmallows, they can burn in a matter of seconds! I like to leave the door open a crack so I can see them easily.
HOW LONG DO CHOCOLATE CHIP SMORE COOKIES LAST?
This is definitely one cookie that is best fresh, especially still warm. But they will last for 4-5 days at room temperature if stored in an airtight container. I don’t recommend freezing them because the marshmallows get a little funky.
CAN YOU FREEZE THE DOUGH?
Absolutely! In fact, if you can’t eat them fast enough, I definitely recommend freezing the dough instead of the baked cookies. Just roll the dough into balls, freeze in a single layer on baking sheets, then place in freezer ziplock bags. It will keep for 3-4 months.
When you are ready to bake them, let them thaw completely, then bake as directed above.
