  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

In another large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 3: Add the Mix-Ins

Fold in the chocolate chunks, crushed graham crackers, and most of the marshmallows.

Reserve a few marshmallows and chocolate chunks for topping.

Step 4: Scoop the Cookies

Scoop large portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, leaving enough space for spreading.

Press a few extra marshmallows and chocolate chunks onto the top of each cookie.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

The marshmallows should be lightly toasted and gooey.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Recipe Variations

Double Chocolate S’mores Cookies

Replace ¼ cup of the flour with cocoa powder for a rich chocolate cookie base.

Stuffed S’mores Cookies

Hide a square of milk chocolate inside each cookie before baking.

Peanut Butter S’mores Cookies

Add peanut butter chips to the dough for a nutty twist.

Nutella S’mores Cookies

Fill the center of each cookie with frozen Nutella before baking.

Oreo S’mores Cookies

Fold crushed Oreo cookies into the dough for extra crunch and chocolate flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t overbake the cookies, as they’ll continue to cook while cooling.
  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best gooey texture.
  • Leave enough space between the cookies to prevent sticking.
  • Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour.
  • Reserve extra toppings for a bakery-style appearance.

Storage Instructions

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Freeze baked cookies or unbaked cookie dough for up to 2 months.

Warm the cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving to make the chocolate and marshmallows soft again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use large marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes. Simply cut large marshmallows into smaller pieces before adding them to the cookie dough.

Why did my marshmallows melt too much?

Marshmallows exposed on the edges can spread quickly. Press them into the dough slightly and add a few fresh marshmallows immediately after baking for a bakery-style finish.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely. Refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze individual dough balls for up to 2 months.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Yes. Dark chocolate adds a richer flavor and balances the sweetness of the marshmallows beautifully.

How do I keep the cookies soft?

Store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread helps retain moisture, keeping the cookies soft for longer.

These Delicious S’mores Cookies combine everything you love about the classic campfire dessert into one irresistible bakery-style cookie. With soft, chewy centers, gooey marshmallows, crunchy graham crackers, and rich melted chocolate, every bite is packed with nostalgic flavor.
