S'mores Cookies

Combine classic s'more ingredients with cookie dough to create ooey gooey S'mores Cookies!

S'mores is a popular summer dessert. It's also a treat that can be enjoyed in practically any form! For instance, these S'mores Cookies has everything a good s'more needs paired with a classic chocolate chip cookie. Making s'mores this way is convenient for parties, family living room "camping", or just to make yourself a late night treat. They come out perfectly gooey, just like when you make one while sitting around the campfire.

To make these S'mores Cookies, you will need these ingredients:

(Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are found below)

butter - I use unsalted, but you can use salted if you'd like.
brown sugar - you can use light or dark brown sugar.
granulated sugar
eggs - for best results, allow eggs to come to room temperature before preparing the recipe.
vanilla extract
all-purpose flour
baking powder
salt - omit salt if using salted butter
chocolate chips - you can use semi-sweet, milk, dark, or even white chocolate chips
mini marshmallows - all s'mores need marshmallows, and these will also add a chewy texture to the cookies.
Snack Size Hershey's chocolate bars - any brand of chocolate bar will work, but I like the classic taste of Hershey's and the way that it melts

You will also need a hand/stand mixer, mixing bowls, baking sheet, parchment paper, and a medium cookie scoop.

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer and a mixing bowl to combine the ingredients to make the cookie dough. Once mixed, the dough should be quite soft and light in color. If it seems too sticky, you can add a little bit of flour to the mixture.

Lastly, fold chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the dough. 

Arrange graham cracker squares on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a medium cookie scoop to add even amounts of dough on top of each graham cracker. Make sure that each ball of dough has at least one mini marshmallow.

Bake the cookies about halfway through, then remove from the oven. Top each one with a Snack Size Hershey's chocolate bar segment.

Bake the cookies the rest of the way through, or until the edges are a light golden brown. For a chewy cookie, do NOT overbake! Move the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
