S’mores Cookies

S’mores Cookies are summery, satisfying, and delicious. Graham cracker honey cookies form the base, topped with perfectly toasted marshmallows, and finished with a drizzle of chocolate sauce—all the flavors of a perfect s’more, with no campfire required.
Aren’t S’mores one of the greatest treats of all time? I love s’mores! Every time we go camping I eat far too much. But, unfortunately, there are those long winter months when you can’t get outside to build a fire to make a perfectly golden s’more, so you have to improvise. That is why I have come up with these. They taste just like a s’more and they are equally as good!
S’mores Cookies Recipe
There are so many s’mores cookies/bars recipes out there, which are good, but I think they are slightly lacking with the main star of the s’more, the marshmallow. They just don’t have enough. Also, I don’t like how some of them add the marshmallow in from the beginning because then you just end up with melted marshmallows rather than toasted marshmallows like an actual s’more.
For this recipe, I opted for a sprinkling of mini marshmallows so I could cover the entire surface of the cookie. I’ve seen others use marshmallow fluff, but that’s even MORE sticky so use caution if you’re making these with kids! The mess is delicious but no joke. Parchment paper is about to be your best friend!
Graham Cracker Crumbs Cookie Dough
The other thing I like about this recipe is that it’s not using large cookies as a base because, again, that would take away from the star of the show—the marshmallow. It’s a slightly thin cookie base (picture the thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies) with a fairly crisp edge that is screaming with graham cracker flavor. It’s not a classic s’mores without the crunchy graham crackers!
Finally, you need the right amount of melty chocolate! There are definitely a few ways to incorporate chocolate into these smores cookies. The classics use a Hershey’s Bar, of course, and you could break one up to use in this recipe. I’m also partial to dark chocolate chips since the marshmallows are so sweet (it’s the same reason I sometimes opt for salted butter instead of unsalted butter in super sweet recipes—balance!).
I believe this cookie has just the right proportions with its ingredients. If you like s’mores then please try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!

S’mores Cookies
Ingredients
- 10 graham cracker sheets , finely ground in a food processor*
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter , softened
- 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups miniature marshmallows
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine ground graham crackers, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until lighter and fluffy about 3-4 minutes. Stir in egg and vanilla. Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until well combine. Scoop out 1 Tbsp dough at a time and form into a ball, then place dough balls onto greased baking sheet (I fit 11 per sheet). Flatten dough balls slightly and bake 9 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile generously butter a cookie sheet and spread miniature marshmallows in a single layer on cookie sheet. Heat oven to broil and toast marshmallows (DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THEM) for about 30 seconds - 1 minute until golden. Remove from oven and using a buttered spatula, scoop marshmallows over tops of cookies.
- In a small microwave safe mixing bowl combine chocolate chips, butter and water. Microwave chocolate on 50% in 30 intervals stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. Pour mixture into a small ziploc bag or piping bag. Cut a small tip off the end and drizzle over S'mores Cookies. Store cookies in an airtight container.
