- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Fold in all your yummy extras: chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers.

- Fold in the chopped chocolate, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers. Your dough will start to look like a cookie monster masterpiece!
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. You’ve waited long enough; this is the best way to ensure a thicker cookie.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment.
- Scoop the dough into balls (roughly the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Remember to leave space; they’ll spread out!
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft and gooey. Trust me, this is where the magic happens. ✨
- Cool slightly before serving. Try not to burn your tongue by diving in too soon!
How to Serve S’mores Cookies
These cookies are best served warm, right out of the oven. The marshmallows will be all melty, and the chocolate will ooze a little when you bite into them. You can pair them with a cold glass of milk or even make ice cream sandwiches by squishing them around your favorite ice cream. Seriously, who needs boundaries with desserts? 🤷♀️
How to Store S’mores Cookies
If you can resist eating all of them in one sitting (let’s be real, it’s tough), store any leftovers in an airtight container. They’ll keep well at room temperature for about 3 days. For longer storage, throw them in the freezer, and they’ll last for up to 3 months. Just make sure you label the container, or you might forget they’re there until it’s cookie panic time!
Tips to Make S’mores Cookies
- Chill the dough: Don’t skip this step! Chilling helps prevent spreading, making your cookies thick and chewy.
- Use quality chocolate: Go for a good-quality milk chocolate for the best flavor. You deserve it!
- Don’t overbake: Aim for a soft center; they’ll continue to cook a bit after removing from the oven.
Variation
Feeling a bit adventurous? Try adding different mix-ins like peanut butter chips or swapping the marshmallows for toasted coconut. Go wild with it! Just remember, every cookie experiment could either be a home run or a learning experience. 😉
