Aren’t S’mores one of the greatest treats of all time? I love s’mores! Every time we go camping I eat far too much. But, unfortunately, there are those long winter months when you can’t get outside to build a fire to make a perfectly golden s’more, so you have to improvise. That is why I have come up with these. They taste just like a s’more and they are equally as good!
S’mores Cookies Recipe
There are so many s’mores cookies/bars recipes out there, which are good, but I think they are slightly lacking with the main star of the s’more, the marshmallow. They just don’t have enough. Also, I don’t like how some of them add the marshmallow in from the beginning because then you just end up with melted marshmallows rather than toasted marshmallows like an actual s’more. For this recipe, I opted for a sprinkling of mini marshmallows so I could cover the entire surface of the cookie. I’ve seen others use marshmallow fluff, but that’s even MORE sticky so use caution if you’re making these with kids! The mess is delicious but no joke. Parchment paper is about to be your best friend!
Graham Cracker Crumbs Cookie Dough
The other thing I like about this recipe is that it’s not using large cookies as a base because, again, that would take away from the star of the show—the marshmallow. It’s a slightly thin cookie base (picture the thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies) with a fairly crisp edge that is screaming with graham cracker flavor. It’s not a classic s’mores without the crunchy graham crackers! Finally, you need the right amount of melty chocolate! There are definitely a few ways to incorporate chocolate into these smores cookies. The classics use a Hershey’s Bar, of course, and you could break one up to use in this recipe. I’m also partial to dark chocolate chips since the marshmallows are so sweet (it’s the same reason I sometimes opt for salted butter instead of unsalted butter in super sweet recipes—balance!). I believe this cookie has just the right proportions with its ingredients. If you like s’mores then please try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!
