What You Need
Here are the key ingredients you need to make these s’mores cookies:
Unsalted butter. Using softened butter means this cookie dough can go right in the oven without chilling first–yay! Graham cracker crumbs. You can use the pre-ground crackers, or you can pulverize them yourself. I experimented with adding larger pieces of crackers, but found they became too stale/soft, so stick with the crumbs!Cornstarch. I love using this in my cookies to prevent them from spreading too much. It also ensures that your s’mores cookies will be chewy, not cakey.Mini marshmallows. We’ll add some in the dough and reserve the rest for topping the cookies after they’re baked. Chocolate. I use a combination of milk chocolate chips and chopped milk chocolate bars, but you can use all of one type if you like. Remember to save a handful of the chopped bars for topping the cookies after they come out of the oven!
SAM’S TIP: Don’t add all of your dry ingredients at once! Instead, add them in 3-4 parts. This will make your s’mores cookie dough much more manageable and keep it from becoming dry, crumbly, and difficult to stir. Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why.

How to Make S’mores Cookies
SAM’S TIP: If you see any marshmallows sticking out of your cookie dough balls after rolling, try to cover them up with dough. Otherwise, the marshmallow will leak out of the cookie and make a mess. A little bit of melty messy marshmallow can be charming, but let’s limit it. If some marshmallow does leak out of your s’mores cookies after baking, you can use the back of a spoon to try and nudge it back in. If you like these s’mores cookies, be sure to give my chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter smore’s cookie bars a try! Enjoy! Let’s bake together!
