A chewy, gooey, marshmallowy S’mores Cookie will hit the spot every single time. They’re toasty, thanks to the graham. They’re chocolatey, sweet, crispy-edged, and just perfect when a cookie craving hits. These cookies are absolutely wonderful and you guys should have seen the look on Lucas’ face when he discovered them tucked away in the pantry. I thought I could hide them for a little while, but alas …

S’mores Cookies: Equipment and Tools

Cookies are as cookies do (or something like that), and the list of tools and equipment that you’ll need to whip up these S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies is very standard op. Nothing crazy here. But I still like to give a run-down of the essentials.

1. Sheet Pans (baking sheets): I like to keep a nice stack of trusty sheet pans and half sheet pans in my kitchen (as you might expect, from my affinity for sheet pan meals). And I usually use two when I’m making any kind of cookie recipe, swapping and rotating them in and out as I work my way through the dough.
2. A good quality stand mixer: This is what I like to call an essential kitchen tool – an investment that is simply a must if you’re at all serious about or committed to home cooking. They will prove their worth time and again, these mixers, and they also look cool in a kitchen, so there’s that.
3. An ice cream scoop: These are so incredibly useful when making cookies. They not only help you to evenly portion each cookie without much effort, but they also make it easy to pop the dough right out onto the sheet pan.
4. Cooling Rack: Totally optional. Don’t let anyone tell you that you HAVE to get one. But, that said, they’re awesome, flat, and easily stored in your kitchen. They also work well in plenty of other recipes besides cookies. A definite My Kitchen Little recommended tool.

How to Make the Best S’Mores Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray with non-stick spray. 

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a mixing bowl using a hand-held mixer), cream together the 3/4 cup butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and molasses for 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.

Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined. Switch to a wooden spoon (or something comparable) and gently mix in the marshmallows, and the chocolate chunks/pieces.

Scoop dough into heaping 1.5-inch balls, roll them around in a little granulated sugar (if you want), and place on the baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and set. 

Cool right on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before trying to move them anywhere else. You don’t have to move them to finish cooling, but a wire rack will speed up the process.

What ingredients do you need to make S’more Cookies?

The ingredients you’ll need to whip up these S’mores chocolate chip cookies are as follows:

½ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling, if desired

3/4 cup butter, unsalted and at room temperature

½ cup light brown sugar, packed

1 TBSP molasses

1 large egg

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

1 ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 whole graham crackers)

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks

2 Hershey’s bars, chopped 

1.5 cup mini marshmallows, cut in half

How to store these S’mores Cookies

These cookies will keep for you in a covered, air-tight container for up to 5 days.

Can you freeze the cookie dough?

Yes! Highly recommend it, in fact. You can wrap up the dough nice and snug (zip-top freezer-safe bags are great) and pop it in your freezer for up to 3 months.

Which type of marshmallows are best?

I’ve tested these with giant marshmallows, regular marshmallows, and mini marshmallows. Honestly, any work just fine. But because I kind of prefer the even dispersal of marshmallow throughout the cookies, rather than one big marshmallow in the center, I reach for the mini’s. It also makes for easier mixing and baking, in my opinion.

What type of flour is best for S’mores Cookies?

So, fun fact: the term “graham” actually just means “whole wheat.” So, you’d think that a S’mores Cookie would be best made with whole wheat flour, right? Not so much …

Because there is whole wheat flour in the graham crackers that we’re incorporating into the dough, we don’t need to mess with it outside of that. A solid all-purpose flour, just as you’d use in a classic chocolate chip cookie, will work beautifully here.
