How to Make Smores Cookies
These cookies bake just like classic chocolate chip cookies with fun s'mores add-ins.
Freeze marshmallows for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
Place sugars and butter in the base of a stand mixer and cream together for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add egg and pure vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
Add flour mixture to the stand mixer bowl and mix for about one minute.
Fold in chocolate chips, then frozen marshmallows.
Scoop dough using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, placing them 1 ½-2 inches apart.
Bake for about 9-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Once out of the oven, press and sprinkle some graham cracker pieces on top, and if using, a piece of Hershey chocolate.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Hint: Freezing the marshmallows keeps them intact while baking for gooey pockets.
Recipe Tips
- Scoop Evenly: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies and best results.
- Top Before Baking: Add extra chocolate chunks and marshmallows for bakery-style cookies.
- Cool on Baking Sheet: Let cookies rest for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
- Work in Batches: Keep the rest of the dough chilled while baking to prevent spreading too much.
