S’mores Cookies

These cookies are a complete balance of crispy graham cracker, gooey marshmallows and rich chocolate…everything we love about the iconic campfire treat!  Baked on top of a butter dipped graham cracker, you will love every bite! My S’more cookies are the perfect summertime treat!

Who doesn’t love an ooey gooey smore? I’m slightly obsessed with these sandwiches of toasted marshmallow, melty chocolate and crunchy graham cracker. Smore have inspired countless variations and spin off desserts. Present company included.

Smores are something my family loves to enjoy in the summertime, especially for the Fourth of July! Living in the Phoenix, Arizona area, July is definitely NOT the optimal time to be huddled around a campfire. Unless, we are lucky enough to be up north, relaxing in the cool pines, this cookie is the answer to our s’mores prayers! I developed this cookie recipe so that we could have that iconic and delicious treat, any time of the year!

I wanted to be sure there was a good amount of marshmallow, chocolate and graham in each bite. This treat takes s’mores to an entirely new level! These cookies are packed full of rich chocolate chips and melty marshmallow while sitting on top of an entire buttered graham cracker square! Insert mind-blown emoji here!

If you’re on a diet, start over tomorrow, because these cookies are really rich and completely worth the cheating!

S’more Cookie Steps:

These cookies aren’t complicated, but there are a couple of extra steps. Getting everything prepared for each step will make for a quick cookie assembly, and make your life a lot easier!

• Preheat the oven and prepare your baking sheet with either a silicone baking mat or parchment
• Break the graham cracker sheets into squares and set aside
• Mix up the cookie dough
• Melt the butter and set aside
• Dip the graham cracker, one by one into the melted butter and place onto the prepared baking sheet
• Scoop the cookie dough and gently place onto each graham cracker
• Bake until slightly toasted on top

My pro tip for this recipe: don’t smash the cookie dough down since the cookie will spread in the oven. 

Let’s talk about the crust of this cookie. The butter dipped graham cracker as the base of this cookie is absolutely mind blowing! Since the cookie is so soft, the graham cracker really does its job, creating a good crust to keep this gooey treat together.

Using an entire graham cracker as a crust, gives every bite some of that graham cracker delight that we love about a s’more! It’s not getting lost in the dough…it’s large and in charge, holding that cookie up to the highest s’more standard!

And there’s only one thing left to do…enjoy them while they are ooey and gooey, just like a campfire s’more (but 1,000 times better!)

There’s gooey marshmallow, melty chocolate and buttery graham cracker cookie in each bite! This is the perfect treat to make when you want to really impress a crowd! Everyone always loves my s’mores cookies!!

Calories 399 kcal

Ingredients

  

1x2x

• 3 cups all purpose flour 360g
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup brown sugar packed (213g)
• ½ cup white sugar 98g
• 1 cup unsalted butter divided (226g)
• ½ cup butter flavored shortening 92g
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 6oz
• 2 cups mini marshmallows 86g
• 9-12 full sheets of graham crackers depending on how big you make your cookies

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon mats.
• Break graham cracker sheets in half. 
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch and set aside.
• In a stand mixer, beat together the brown sugar, white sugar, 1/2 cup of butter and the butter flavored shortening, using the paddle attachment. Cream together for 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Add the flour mixture slowly. Mix until just blended.
• Add the chocolate chips to the dough and mix. Add the marshmallows to the dough and mix only slightly until marshmallows are mixed in. Avoid over mixing at this point as it will break the marshmallows apart.
• In a microwave safe dish, melt the other 1/2 cup of butter.  
• Dip the graham crackers in the melted butter and arrange on the lined baking sheet about three inches apart.
• Using a cookie scoop or spoon, round dough into a ball and place the dough on top of each graham cracker. For large cookies, make a dough ball about the size of a golf ball.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

1. If cookie dough is spreading too much in oven, try chilling it for about 30 minutes before scooping and baking. 
2. Using butter flavored shortening helps make this cookie more rich and flavorful. You can also substitute the buttered flavored shortening with unsalted butter.
