Did I mention that I’m kind of obsessed with s’mores? S’mores in a jar, s’mores pop tarts, s’mores cupcakes, s’mores brownies…I’ve made them all. So when I had an itch to bake a couple Sundays ago, I went searching through my recipe folders to see what I had bookmarked lately. And there it was…this amazing recipe for s’mores cookies. Even though there was only a couple of photos with the recipe, it was enough to get me drooling.

At first glance, this cookie looks like a regular chocolate chip cookie dough with marshmallows mixed in and a piece of chocolate on top. No no no, my friends. There is so much more to this cookie than meets the eye. The dough has a dash of cinnamon in it to resemble the flavor or graham crackers AND the dough is also sitting on a graham cracker square. Unbelievable.
But the true shining star in this cookie is the marshmallow. As the cookie bakes, the marshmallows within caramelize a bit to give them the burnt, smoky flavor that distinguishes a s’more from a plain Jane cookie sandwich. Again, unbelievable.
You have to make these. Now.

| Somehow I got confused as to which bowl I was putting the brown sugar in and placed it with the dry ingredients by accident. Oops! Good thing brown sugar packs together ever so perfectly so getting it out was a cinch. |

S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 package graham crackers broken into squares
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 11 tablespoons butter unsalted, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 12-ounce bag chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 regular-sized Hershey bars broken into mini bars
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper. Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
- Bake for 9 minutes then remove from oven to press Hershey’s bar pieces on to the top. Return pans to the oven and bake for 1 to 2 more minutes or until dough is golden brown at the edges.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool.
Do you prioritize the appearance or the nutritional value of the food? I like the rich, sweet flavor they offer.
Just tried making S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies and I can’t believe how delicious they were! The sweet flavor of the chocolate mixed with the chewy texture of the marshmallow was irresistible. After baking, I played Drift Boss to relax and enjoy these delicious cookies, what a great experience!
