S’more Cookies That’ll Make You Forget the Campfire

So You Want a S’more But Your Backyard Has No Fire Pit?

Look, I love the idea of camping. The fresh air, the stars, the whole kumbaya thing… until a mosquito bites me and someone asks me to help set up a tent. Nope. I’m in it for the s’mores and the s’mores only.

So here’s the solution: S’more Cookies—all the sticky, gooey magic of those campfire treats, minus the bugs and smoke inhalation. They’re messy (in a good way), stupid easy, and dangerously addictive. You’ve been warned.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

• It’s idiot-proof. Like, actually. You could probably make these half-asleep (not saying you should, but still).
• No campfire required. You won’t have to rub two sticks together to get a snack.
• It’s a crowd-pleaser. Kids, adults, your weird neighbor—everyone will love you for these.
• Marshmallows + chocolate + graham crackers. Do I need to say more?

Basically, this recipe turns you into a dessert wizard with minimal effort. Abra cookie-dabra.

You probably have most of this stuff lying around. If not, your local grocery store will.

All the gooey, toasty magic of classic s’mores—baked into a chewy, chocolatey cookie. These s’more cookies are easy, irresistible, and perfect for satisfying dessert cravings (no campfire or cleanup required).

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1½ tsp vanilla extract

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup chocolate chips

• 1 cup mini marshmallows

• ¾ cup crushed graham crackers

• Optional: extra chocolate & marshmallows for topping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet.
• Cream butter and sugars until light. Add eggs and vanilla.
• Mix in flour, baking soda, salt.
• Fold in chocolate, marshmallows, and grahams.
• Scoop dough onto baking sheet. Add extra toppings.
• Bake 9–11 mins. Let cool slightly before devouring.

Notes

• To make these extra Instagrammable, press a few marshmallows and chocolate chunks on top before baking. They’ll melt into dreamy, toasty little puddles that look like effort… but weren’t.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the preheat. Rookie move. Cold ovens = sad cookies.
• Overmixing the dough. You’re making cookies, not developing gluten for a baguette.
• Not lining the baking tray. Marshmallows love to glue themselves to surfaces.
• Overbaking. Repeat after me: Soft centers are good.
• Using giant marshmallows. You’ll end up with cookie lava fields. Stick to mini ones.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Don’t have something? Chill. You’ve got options.

• No graham crackers? Use digestive biscuits or even crushed vanilla wafers.
• No semi-sweet chips? Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or chopped chocolate bars work too.
• Gluten-free? Use your fave 1:1 gluten-free flour and certified GF grahams.
• Dairy-free? Sub in plant-based butter and chocolate. Boom—vegan-ish victory.
• Want extra texture? Throw in some chopped nuts. Walnut crunch, anyone?

You do you, cookie rebel.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Technically, yeah. But like… why? Butter is butter. Don’t cheat your taste buds.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Totally. Chill it in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Bonus: chilled dough = thicker cookies.

Can I freeze the dough?
Yep! Scoop it, freeze the blobs, and bake straight from the freezer. Just add 1-2 minutes to bake time.

My cookies spread too much. What gives?
Your butter was probably too soft or melted. Or your dough wasn’t chilled. Or the cookie gods were just feeling chaotic.

Can I use big marshmallows and cut them up?
Sure… but be ready for sticky fingers and weird cookie shapes. Mini ones behave better.

Can I double the recipe?
I mean, can you not? Why would you make only one batch?

How long do these last?
About 3–4 days in an airtight container—if they last that long. They rarely do.

Final Thoughts

There you go: warm, gooey, chocolatey greatness without the smoky hair or burnt marshmallow sticks. These S’more Cookies are pure nostalgic comfort with a side of modern laziness (aka my favorite combo).

Bake them for a party, a Netflix night, or just because it’s Tuesday. No judgment here.
