S’mores Cookies
Happy (belated) New Year, my friend! Here we are… 5 days into 2017. How’s it going? Are you showing those resolutions who’s boss? Struggling a little? Feeling glad you didn’t make any to begin with?
I for one am feeling incredibly thankful this morning. After 8 days of tissues, TV, and maybe a few tears, I’ve finally kicked the flu to the curb!!! I’m one of those people who rarely gets sick, so this down time really rocked my world. But the silver lining? It also gave me time to rest, reevaluate, and think deep on my resolutions for 2017. While I won’t go into detail on my personal and professional goals for this year, I will say that there’s a lot of exciting and delicious projects (including a website redesign) coming your way. I’m not only excited, but honored, to share this year with you! To grow with you, as human beings and as bakers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here and making this dream job of mine possible.
S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies
These EPIC cookies are loaded with gooey marshmallow, rich chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers. But the best part? The cookie dough doesn’t require chilling any dilling so you can just roll and bake! So you can have these on your table in less than 30 minutes. Bliss!
Tips and Tricks for Recipe Success:
- Bring your eggs and butter to room temperature! You’ll know the butter is soft enough when you can press your finger into the top and an indentation is effortlessly made. Cold butter as well as melted butter should never be used when making these cookies; it will not work.
- For this recipe you’ll need graham cracker crumbs. You can buy them from the store, or make your own by pulverizing a few sheets of graham crackers in a food processor or blender. Just make sure they’re in very fine crumbs.
- Don’t over bake! The cookies should still be slightly soft in the center; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Be sure to allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a full 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They need the 10 minutes to firm up so they don’t fall apart as your transfer them.
- If you’d like your cookies to look like the ones you see in my photos, press a few marshmallows on top of each ball of cookie dough before baking, then press a few chocolate chips on top of the baked cookies right after they come out of the oven.
When it comes to cookies, there’s always room for s’more…

S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, very finely crushed (see post for more on this)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 sheets graham crackers, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and both sugars; beat on medium-speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture. Be sure not to over beat here! Turn mixer off. Using a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon, fold in chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham crackers.
- Roll 3 tablespoon sized portions of dough between your palms to form a ball (they should be big; almost a 1/4 cup), then place on prepared sheet (make sure to leave 2" between each cookie for inevitable spreading). Continue this process until all the dough has been rolled. Place baking sheets in preheated oven, one at a time, and bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire wrack to cool completely.
I’m sorry you were so sick! I’m glad you’re feeling better. Those cookies look delicious!
I made these and they turned out in a flat mess. Sad face. I thought I did everything right but I guess not.
Hi Lori. I’m so sorry to hear your cookies didn’t turn out! A few questions: did you make sure the 1/2 cup of graham crackers were very fine crumbs (almost like a graham cracker flour?), was your butter at room temperature? Butter that’s too soft will cause cookies to spread all over the pan? I’d love to help figure out what went wrong!
Mine came out perfect! Followed your recipe to a T!
I got the same results
You should also check your baking soda because expired baking soda can cause spreading too
yum yum yummmmmm!!!!! I love s’mores and cookies so much and these are the perfect combo!
Recipe looks Delic Is it possible to use less sugar & substitute the butter with either avocado or applesauce
I am trying to bake somewhat healthier.
Since choc chips and marshmallows have sugar i thought to ask
Thanks
I- I’m calling the police
Ill add to that & calling the Recipe manager

Will try making this for my nieces!Yum!
Confused…recipe reads that butter should be room temp and graham crackers roughly chopped but one of your messages contradicts those instructions. Don’t want to waste all the ingredients!
Read the ingredients again. It calls for both finely crushed graham cracker crumbs and two sheets of coarsely chopped graham crackers. And the butter thing isn’t contradictory either because room temperature butter, and butter that’s soft because it’s sat out for a few days are different things.
I made these today for okie exchange. I did two thonlgs differently and they turned out great.
First, I had the butter at room temperature but the first pan came out a mess, they spread too much. I refrigerated the dough for a while to firm up and they baked great.
Second, I added a couple marshmallows to the top before baking but they melted and did not look great. Instead, as soon as I took them out of the oven I added two chocolate chips, two marshmallows, and a sprinkle of graham crackers. They set in while they cooled.
As is says, let these cool to firm up before koving.
Mine also came out terrible. All the marshmallows melted and created holes. I had to hand pick all the marshmallows out of the dough. Delicious but mine looked ugly.
You might have pushed the marshmallows too deeply into the cookie. Try pushing them only halfway in 🙂
Try placing the marshmallows into the freezer overnight before placing them into the cookie dough. It keeps them from completely melting away and also helps hold their shape
This really helps! I just made them today and was wondering how to keep the shape for the marshmallows! Will do next time.
I made these! They turned out good! The rexipe is perfect! The marshmallows melted thoug, you can just put some with chocolate chips after they come out from the oven then cool them off. My dad doesn’t have a sweet tooth, he said they were too sweet. Can I reduce the amount of brown shugar into a half cup only?
These are good. I feel I could have used better chocolate chips than the unsweetened morsels I conveniently had on hand. Think the milk choc morsels would have given that extra flavor. But besides that these need more than a half cup of graham crackers. It seemed like a missing component cause I didn’t even get a hint of it. But awesome recipe and thanks for sharing
Can you freeze the dough? Just wondering since the marshmallows in them!
I think it should freeze fine 🙂
How long will these cookies last since they have marshmallows? I just know if marshmallows are left out n not air tight, they go hard.
Our new *FAVORITE* cookie! These were just eye crossingly outrageous. My son made them, and they were exactly as promised: thick, chewy and delicious.
Cookie came out tasty but my marshmallows completely melted and spread everywhere
Didn’t turn out great. So disappointed as I love s’mores.
Piece if advise friends don’t use extra marshmallows 🙂
Made these and they turned out AHMAZING!! I put them in for 8 minutes instead of 11 and it was perfect.
I folded in the marshmallows and chocochips and chunks of graham cracker after making my dough and the marshmallows did awesome. I think they should look a lil melted like they would when you make s’mores. I also added in marshmallows and a couple choco chips per cookie right out of the oven to make them “picture perfect” 😉 will definitely be using this recipe for future references!!!! Thank you!!!!
Mad th we for a group of 17 year old boys. Huge hit. Make sure of read he hints and put extra marshmallows on
My cookies came out great.they were not very pretty but as soon as I took them out I added marshmellows and choc.chips.that made them beautiful.thank uf for the great recipe..
Made these today and they are delicious, my first batch spread too much so I chilled the rest for 30+ mins and they held their shape better, I would definitely make them again but make time for chilling. Thank you for the recipe!
This is one of our favorite recipes in my house, but I always have issues with the marshmallows. And I do half chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips and takes them over the top amazing!
These cookies look absolutely amazing!! I love making s’mores desserts for when I have summer bbqs and get-togethers! I’m adding these to my next menu!
I have a question. My cookies came out fluffy and very delicious the only down side was that my marshmallows melted. How did you get yours to stay in place and still have that toasty look?
Can baked cookies be frozen?
Mine turned out great and no chilling the dough required. Third time I’ve made them-easy!
These turned out amazing and super cute. I kept the mini marshmallows out and just pressed them on top of each cookie two minutes before they were ready to come out. I kept the dough in the freezer between batches. Also, ran out of brown sugar and substituted it with a cup of raw honey which worked great. Love this recipe!!
These are bomb! Just finished making a batch.Came across this recipe on Pinterest and they are to die for thank you xo
These are amazing! Made them tonight! Thanks.
Well mine came out flat too! Disappointed! Very fine graham crackers, new baking soda, soft butter but not too soft!
Amazing!!!!! I loved the recipe! So delicious 🙂
This recipe is phenomenal! I made the s’mores chocolate chip cookies morning and everyone in my household loved them! I also took some to a small gathering and they loved them too. Thanks for sharing the recipe! We have a new favorite 🙂
I loved these cookies! I had some trouble with the last batch, but I think it might just have been that the dough had been sitting out longer than the first batch. They were delicious 🙂 I hope to improve how they look as I keep practicing. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Suck good cookies! I thought they weren’t going to turn out good because I read the comments while they were baking and I didn’t exactly follow the recipe, but they turned out so good!!!
I loved this recipe! Thank you sharing it! I scooped the dough right after blending all the ingredients and popped it in the freezer for 20 minutes before baking. They absolutely looked gorgeous fresh out of the oven and looked even more gorgeous after topping it with more marshmallows and chocolate chips.
I cut the sugars in half.. and the overall sweetness was just right for us!
I’ve made these several times and they are always delicious. I love to share them with friends and they are always a hit!
These turned out great, I don’t have good luck with baking but these were a hit 🙂
I made these a few times and they are delicious. I always make a few different cookie doughs at a time, fscoop out and freeze to bake as needed. These come out perfectly every time. Who knows, maybe the marshmallows being frozen first helps? Idk, but these are great.
The base of the cookie is soft right ? I finished baking and the base was soft
These are amazing! I LOVED them! I made 4 dozen with one batch, because I made them smaller. My advice is to try and keep the marshmallows inside the ball of dough. The ones that were on the outside stuck to the pan and hardened on. Also I kept the butter a bit colder than room temperature, and that worked well. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
These were really yummy. However, the marshmallows totally melted a few minutes after taking them out of the oven. I tried the second batch for less time, and they still melted/caramalized into nothingness. After that they tasted like chocolate chip cookies with a mega punch of sweetness.
Try to keep the marshmallows inside the balls of dough. I tried that, and it seemed to work quite well. Mine came out great, and tasted like s’mores! Maybe this won’t work for you, but I hope it does. My ones with the marshmallows on the outside crystalized into nothing too. The rest were fine though.
Definitely use the parchment paper!!! It’s a HORRIBLE mess without it!
Mine turned out great!!! Can the unbaked dough be frozen?
I was looking for a different kind of chocolate chip recipe and found this. Memorial Day 2021 is just around the weekend corner so thought it would be perfect. I always like to read through the comments to see if they are worth the time. Believe Me!!! These are amazing. I actually put some marshmallows on top when they came out of the oven, then put them back in for two minutes. The marshmallows puffed up some and stayed on the cookies better. Extra chocolate chips beside the marshmallows made them so pretty and the extra graham cracker sprinkled on top looked like an open face S’more! Rich mix of milk and dark chocolate chips set the stage for yumminess!!
AHHMAZING!!!
Yummy! I make these for my niece (she owns a little bistro in our hometown) and this is one of the “desserts” and they’re a hit with her customers 🙂
Hi there! Just wondering if these freeze well? If I make them and then store them in the freezer will they be okay?
Thank you!
Yes!
These are absolutely delicious!
My neighbor made these for me and I swear they are the best cookies I ever tasted. The mouthfeel and chew on these bad boys is outrageous. I cannot wait to return the favor and make for friends (and of course keep a few for myself).
One question though: Can I use vegan marshmallows so my vegetarian hubby can also enjoy these amazing cookies? I’ve never tried them in a recipe and wonder if they’ll have the same “melty” quality as regular marshmallows. Thanks for a super sweet recipe!
