These S’mores Cookies are not just a treat; they are a memory in the making. From backyard campfires to holiday parties, each bite is filled with the nostalgia of roasting marshmallows under the stars.

The Perfect Holiday Treat

Their unique blend of flavors combines the warmth of baked cookies with the nostalgic taste of campfire s'mores, making them a delightful surprise for both kids and adults alike. With a gooey center filled with marshmallows and chocolate, these cookies are sure to become the highlight of your dessert table.

Not only do these cookies taste amazing, but they also look fabulous when presented.

Tips for the Best S'mores Cookies

To achieve the perfect balance of soft and chewy textures in your S'mores Cookies, make sure not to overmix the dough. Mixing just until the ingredients are combined ensures that the cookies remain tender and don't become tough. Additionally, if you want an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate experience.

Don't worry if your cookies spread out a bit while baking; this is normal for these gooey delights! However, if you prefer a thicker cookie, you can chill the dough for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator before baking. This will help the dough hold its shape better in the oven, resulting in a thicker cookie.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually blend the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.

Bake the Cookies

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delicious cookies warm or at room temperature!

Storing Your S'mores Cookies

To maintain the freshness of your S'mores Cookies, it's best to store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will keep them soft and chewy for several days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing the cookies. Simply place cooled cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy a frozen cookie, let it thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave for a few seconds to revive its gooey goodness. This way, you can have S'mores Cookies ready to go whenever a sweet craving hits!

Creative Variations

While the classic S'mores cookie recipe is undoubtedly delicious, feel free to get creative with your variations! Consider swapping out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips for a delightful twist. You could even add crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch during the holiday season, creating a refreshing flavor combination with the warmth of chocolate and marshmallows.

Another fun variation is to use flavored marshmallows, such as vanilla, chocolate, or even fruity flavors. This small change can add a unique twist to your cookies while still maintaining the essence of the classic S'mores experience.
