How To Make S'mores Cookies
FIRST STEP: Begin preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Then line two baking sheets with parchment paper, then set aside.
SECOND STEP: In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment mix the butter and brown sugar just until combined for about 1 minute.
THIRD STEP: Add the egg and vanilla and mix just until combined, which takes about 1 minute.
FOURTH STEP: Then add graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined, another 1 minute.
NOTE: Take special care not to overmix the batter during any of the steps.
FIFTH STEP: Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate until incorporated.
SIXTH STEP: Spoon 12 evenly sized cookies on the prepared baking sheets with about 4-inch space in between.
SEVENTH STEP: Bake the cookies for about 9-11 minutes. Please don't overbake your cookies. Remove them from the oven as soon as they start looking dry on the tops, puffed, and pale.
EIGHT STEP: Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Can S'mores Cookies Be Made Without Graham Crackers?
Yes, you can make S'more cookies without graham crackers. Simply replace the ground graham crackers with any other favorite cookie like a wafer. You could also substitute regular graham crackers for a chocolate variety of graham crackers too.
Just note that the graham crackers give the cookies that traditional S'more flavor, so substituting will change the flavor some.
Can I Make This S'mores Cookies Recipe With Chocolate Chips Instead Of Candy Bars?
Yes, you can make easy s'more cookies with chocolate chips instead of candy bars. Simply substitute the same amount of chocolate chips (3/4 cups - 135 g) in place of the candy bar. You can choose any variety of chocolate you prefer, but milk chocolate is what I usually use.
How To Add Additional Flavors To The S'mores Cookies With Graham Crackers
Fold any of these ingredients into the dough when you add chocolate and marshmallows.
- 1 cup (125g) nuts - Almonds, pecans, pistachios or walnuts would be great!
- 1/2 cup (88g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (175g) crushed mint chocolate candy
Frequently Asked Questions And Answers
Should I Flatten Cookies Before Baking?
No, you do not need to flatten out these S'more stuffed cookies before baking. While some recipes do require you to smash the cookies down, this easy s'mores recipe will flatten naturally as they bake.
Do I Need To Grease The Pan For Cookies?
No, as a matter of fact, if you do grease the cookie sheet, then the result is going to be thin and flat cookies. Grease causes the cookies to spread out more than they usually would, so skip greasing the pan.
What Happens If You Overmix Cookie Dough?
When making this S'mores cookie recipe, be careful not to overmix the dough. If you do overmix it, then you will end up with tiny air bubbles in the batter. This will cause the cookies to become flat and not as delicious.
How Long Do S'mores Cookies Last And How To Store Them?
You can store the S'mores in an airtight container for 4 days at room temperature. Make sure they have cooled all the way before putting them in a storage container because otherwise, they will become mushy from condensation.
Can S'mores Cookies Be Frozen?
Yes, you can freeze these s'more cookies with graham crackers. Typically, marshmallows do not freezer well, but because of the sugar content in the cookies, you shouldn't have any issues.
Make sure to store the cookies in an airtight freezer bag or container to keep them from freezer burn. They will last around 3 months.
