How To Make Smores Cookies

Please keep in mind that the full printable Smores Cookie recipe, with exact measurements and instructions, can be found at the bottom of this page. This portion of the post is just for discussion, tips, and answering common questions you may have about the recipe. I work hard to give you helpful information, but if you just want the recipe and nothing more, you’ll find it at the bottom. 

What You Will Need

• Unsalted Butter – unsalted butter allows you to better control the amount of salt in the recipe but salted butter would also work.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – crunchy would work as well for a different texture, or you can substitute with a different nut butter.
• Brown Sugar – dark brown sugar or light brown sugar will work.
• Granulated Sugar
• Eggs – make sure they are large in size. Also, while not required, I prefer my eggs room temp for baking.
• Vanilla Extract – if possible, always go with pure vanilla extract.
• All-Purpose Flour – make sure you stir your flour, then spoon it into your measuring cup. Do not measure by scooping your flour with the measuring cup. Not sure what I mean? Check out my post about flour.
• Graham Cracker Crumbs – you can purchase prepared crumbs or you can crush graham crackers into fine crumbs.
• Baking Powder – always check the expiration date.
• Baking Soda – just like with baking powder, check your expiration date.
• Fine Sea Salt or Kosher Salt –  I love Diamond Salt, Jacobsen Sea Salt and Maldon Salt Flakes. You can also use ¼ teaspoon table salt.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips can be substituted. I personally find milk chocolate chips too sweet (in any recipe) but this is a matter of taste.
• Dehydrated Marshmallow Bits – these are the little crunchy marshmallows you find in hot chocolate mix or cereals. Kraft makes some called Jet Puffed Bits. Fun fact, the container features my Hot Cocoa Cookies recipe on the back of it! Some stores have them available in the baking aisle but if you can’t find them at your local store you can purchase them on Amazon. I prefer these to mix in to the dough because they don’t puff up and spread like regular marshmallows. However, you can also substitute with mini marshmallows but be aware that they will spread and make your cookies less uniform. They will still taste delicious!
• Graham Crackers – I prefer the plain, or honey versions.
• Mini Marshmallows – mini are the perfect size but if you only have access to regular sized marshmallows you can tear them into small pieces.
• Chocolate Bar – any brand/flavor works but Hershey’s chocolate bars will give that classic s’mores flavor.

Steps To Take

To make this Smore’s Cookie Recipe, begin by preheating the oven. Then butter, peanut butter and the sugars are mixed together using a mixer. Eggs and vanilla are then added and mixed in as well.

Next, dry ingredients are combined in a separate bowl. After that the wet and dry ingredients are combined. Then chocolate chips, dehydrated marshmallows and graham cracker pieces are folded in.

Cookie dough is then scooped onto baking sheets, topped with mini-marshmallows and chocolate bar pieces, then baked.

Cookies are then baked for approximately 8-10 minutes per sheet.

Storage Tips

S’mores Cookie Recipe Storage Instructions

Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep cookies extra soft, tuck a piece of simple sandwich bread into the container as well. This trick works well to keep almost all cookies soft while being stored.

Freezing Smore’s Cookies

To freeze baked cookies allow them to cool completely. Lay them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1 hour before placing in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the dough before baking. Place balls of dough on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Place in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw and add toppings before baking.
