What’s in this s’mores cookies

S’mores cookies are not new and I’ve seen them made in so many different ways. Buuutttt I want a s’mores cookie that doesn’t skimp on ANY of the flavors, I see you graham crackers! Yeah, so often the graham crackers get overlooked in s’mores recipes which I think is interesting, considering it’s like the largest part of an actual s’more… 

Again, if you haven’t noticed I’m a huge fan of my super quick & easy small-batch chocolate chip cookies…I love them because they’re delicious, quick and easy with no weird ingredients or awkward amounts of anything, aka convenient AF. So I took that cookie and adapted it into the perfect cookies and cream cookie which I then adapted to a peppermint chocolate cookie anddddd this lovely s’mores cookie! 

How to make s’mores cookies

So of course I made sure we were using melted butter for the dough again because no one wants to wait for the butter to be at the perfect room temperature. The melted butter gets whisked with the light brown sugar, then whisk in the egg and vanilla and then fold in the flour, crushed graham crackers and baking powder, followed by the marshmllows and chocolate. Scoop, roll and bake. DONE, my friends!

Ingredients:

• Flour: I just used all-purpose flour for this recipe however, I HIGHLY recommend using a digital scale, as over-measuring the flour is the most common baking mistake and may result in dry cookies. 
• Graham Crackers: Like I said, these s’mores cookies don’t skimp on any of the flavors so there are crushed graham cracker crumbs packed right into the dough.
• Sugar: I’m going to spare you my whole rant on sugar lol… I used JUST light brown sugar for these cookies and I don’t recommend substituting it. Granulated sugar makes these cookies super pale and chewy. 
• Butter: I LOVE using salted butter in cookies! I started doing this this year and it just seems more flavorful and it’s one less step since you don’t have to add extra salt. If you use unsalted butter, just add ¼ tsp salt to the batter with the flour too.
• Egg: I used one FULL large egg in this recipe because no one wants to mess with separating eggs. 
• Vanilla: Don’t underestimate the power of vanilla extract in a cookie recipe. I stopped putting vanilla in EVERYTHING that I make but for cookies it’s essential. 
• Baking Powder: just baking powder, no baking soda. 
• Marshmallows: I used mini marshmallows for this recipe but you can also use large ones and cut them into smaller pieces. I have not tested it with dehydrated marshmallows.
• Chocolate: I used Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bars to really keep these cookies tasting like authentic s’mores.

How to bake these s’mores cookies

I always bake in a convection oven but when I took some polls on instagram, most of you said you either don’t have one or you don’t know how to use your convection oven. So since I developed ALL my recipes in a 350F convection oven, I decided to experiment with a conventional. 

If you don’t know the difference, a convection oven has a fan that circulates the heat more evenly. This usually results in a quicker bake, so always do less time if you’re unsure and it also gives a more even browning. If you’re not used to it, the change can be frustrating. 

If you’re using a conventional (NO FAN) oven, I recommend baking these cookies at 325F (163C) for about 12 minutes (for the 2 oz cookies) instead of 350F (177C) for 10 minutes in a convection oven. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

How can I store unbaked s’mores cookie dough?

The cookie dough is pretty soft so you’ll want to scoop it out, roll it and then press it down just a little so it looks more like a disc than a ball. Then refrigerate it on a plate or tray until the cookie dough is more firm. Once they’re firm, place them in a ziplock bag and freeze. To bake, remove from the freezer as the oven is preheating and just add an additional 2-3 minutes to the bake time.

Can I make these vegan?

Unfortunately I haven’t had time to test this but I really wanted to get this recipe out to you all so when I do try it, I’ll certainly update it. If you try it, let me know!

Can I double the recipe to make a big batch of cookies?

You can! I double this recipe all the time and it makes 16 normal size cookies (2 oz) or 8 large (4 oz) cookies. 

How to store the cookies after baking

Nothing fancy, just place the cookies in a ziplock bag and keep them at room temperature for up to five days. They obviously will dry out a little more by day 5 but I just pop in the microwave for like 5-10 seconds before eating.
