S'mores Cookies Recipe - The Cookie Rookie® (2024)

S’mores Cookies are one of the best cookie recipes I have ever made (or tried). These easy s’mores cookies are a favorite at our house for Christmas or for any time of year. It can be our little secret that they’re made with pre-made refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough, dipped in milk chocolate, then graham cracker crumbs. Everything you love about S’mores in cookie form. Divine!

What’s in This S’mores Cookie Recipe?

These easy s’mores cookies are as simple as baking the store-bought dough according to package instructions, broiling on some mini marshmallows, and then dipping them in chocolate and graham cracker crumbles. Then sit back and listen to the compliments roll in. Best cookie recipe hack ever? It just might be!

• Ready-to-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies: You’ll need a 16-ounce package. We like the pre-formed cookies, but you can also buy a log or tub of refrigerated dough to customize the size.
• Miniature Marshmallows: You can also cut regular-sized marshmallows into quarters.
• Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers: These are designed for dipping, so there’s no need to temper your own chocolate.
• Crushed Graham Crackers: You can buy graham cracker crumbs or whole graham cracker sheets.

Notes from the Test Kitchen

In our experience, these cookies taste the best when they’re made with your favorite brand of refrigerated cookie dough!

Variations on S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can use milk chocolate chips in place of the melting wafers. Be sure to use a good quality brand of chocolate chips. You can also swap for semisweet or dark chocolate chips or wafers depending on your preference.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these simple s’mores cookies with our favorite easy crockpot hot chocolate or a toasted s’mores martini for the adults. They’re also delish with a scoop of red velvet ice cream!

How to Make S’mores Cookies Step by Step

Bake the Cookie Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place 16 ounces of ready-to-bake large chocolate chip cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and bake per package directions.

Top with Marshmallows: When the cookies are ready, transfer the cookies and tray to a cooling rack and turn the oven to broil. Place 8-10 mini marshmallows on the top of each cookie and very lightly press down (just so the marshmallows will stay put).

Broil the Cookies: Place the cookies back in the oven, under broil, just until the marshmallows begin to turn golden brown. Watch closely, as they can burn quickly. Remove the cookies from the oven, place the tray with the cookies on a cooling rack, and allow them to cool completely.

Dip the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, melt 10 ounces of milk chocolate melting wafers (melt in 30-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and fully melted when stirred), then dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate.

Sprinkle with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed graham cracker crumbs over the chocolate. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack until the chocolate is set.

How to Store

Store leftover s’mores cookies in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

How to Freeze

Freeze s’mores cookies in a single layer on a lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag to store for up to 1 month. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
