What’s a gal to do but make chocolate and marshmallow S’mores Cookies?

How to Make S’mores Marshmallow Cookies

These cookies start with my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, and swap out some of the flour for crumbled graham crackers. I used a mix of chopped chocolate and chocolate chips – what I had in the cupboard – and I liked the way some bites were filled with chocolate and some bites were more graham cracker cookie. Add the marshmallows in the last few minutes of baking. This is key. Any sooner and the marshmallows melt and totally disappear into the cookie. Continue baking the cookies with the marshmallows just until you see the marshmallows starting to get melty on the bottom edges, then pull the cookies from the oven. The marshmallows will continue to melt as the cookies cool, and you’ll be left with perfect gooey puddles. I did not get anywhere near my quota of campfires OR s’mores this summer. So, these cookies are filling a definite void in my life. They would be perfect if you have any camping trips in your near future, but they’re also a sweet memory of summer any time of year. You can get a giant hunk of chocolate from Trader Joe’s and chop it if you want a variation in texture. Whole Food’s also has chocolate chunks available in their 365 brand. Here are our favorite baking chocolates to try as well!

If you want to save the dough for mixing later, scoop the dough into rounds (Step 9 of the recipe) and place the dough balls in the freezer (You’ll add the marshmallows when you bake them.). Once they are frozen enough, move them to a freezer-safe, zip-top bag or airtight container. When you’re ready to bake them, you can place them directly unto a prepared baking sheet. Bake a couple of minutes longer. Then, follow the instructions for adding the marshmallows near the end of baking.

I usually bake my cookies one sheet at a time to help them bake evenly. If you prefer, or are crunched for time, bake two sheets at a time with one sheet in the upper third of the oven and the other in the lower third of the oven. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the marshmallows look like puff balls and are just starting to melt around the bottom. The marshmallows will continue to melt after the cookies come out of the oven.
