It’s August and I am now feeling that slight sense of panic since I’ve been totally horrible about posting much this summer and still have some summer recipes to share! It’s also grant writing season at work. Busy times! Let’s be honest though, it’s never too late for s’mores recipes, am I right?!
S’mores cookies are like the best of two worlds for me. I love s’mores and chocolate chip cookies are one of my most favorite desserts ever! I based these cookies off of my Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies that I have been making for many years.
The first time I made these cookies, it was actually disastrous. I wasn’t thinking and just mixed the marshmallows into the dough and of course, they completed melted while baking and the cookies were a total mess! The second time around, I stuck the marshmallows on after the cookies baked and they turned out a lot better, so that’s the key!

In order to get that graham cracker flavor into the cookies, I replaced 1/2 cup of the flour with graham cracker crumbs. I also took some sheets of graham crackers, gave them a rough chop (or you can break them up with your hands) and stuck some of the pieces on top of the cookies when they were done baking.
Oh, and yes, you SHOULD chill the dough for at least an hour before baking. I do this with almost all of my cookie recipes and is a key step if you like thicker cookies!
This recipe also uses milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate. Another wonderful addition is to take some milk chocolate bars and cut smaller squares to stick on top at the end as well. So after baking the cookies, you will take them out of the oven and stick on some mini marshmallows, graham pieces, and a few tiny squares of milk chocolate bar. Yes, these are SO decadent and chocolately!
You can be totally done with these after this step, but if you are anything like me and desire for your marshmallows to be a little toasted, switch the oven to broil and stick the cookies back in for a minute or two until the marshmallows are lightly golden! I prefer to take this extra step (as pictured), but it’s totally not required!
