All-Purpose Flour (1 ½ cups): Forms the structure of the cookie.
Baking Soda (½ tsp): Gives the cookies a light, airy texture.
Salt (¼ tsp): Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
Cornstarch (1 tbsp): Creates a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Chocolate Chunks (¼ cup): Provides larger bites of chocolate for that gooey, melty effect.

How to Make S’mores Cookies
Ingredients
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup chocolate chunks
¼ cup chocolate chips
Jumbo marshmallows
1 Hershey Bar, broken into pieces
Graham crackers, broken into halves
Directions
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, using a mixer, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and chocolate chips with a spatula.
Assemble the S’mores Cookies: Place half of a graham cracker on a plate. Top with a piece of Hershey chocolate, followed by one jumbo marshmallow. Scoop a generous amount of cookie dough, flatten it, and place it over the marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker, covering the entire top.
Freeze: Place assembled cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and arrange the cookies with plenty of space between each one. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges. Enjoy warm for the best gooey s’mores experience!
Tips for Making the Best S’mores Cookies
Use Softened Butter: This helps to create a smoother dough, ensuring an even bake.
Freeze Before Baking: Freezing the assembled cookies helps them hold their shape and prevents the marshmallows from melting too quickly in the oven.
Allow Room to Spread: These cookies spread a bit in the oven, so be sure to leave plenty of space between each one on the baking sheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the cookies, freeze them, and bake them directly from the freezer whenever you’re ready to enjoy.
What other chocolates can I use?
Feel free to swap in your favorite chocolate, like dark chocolate, for a more intense flavor.
Can I use mini marshmallows?
Jumbo marshmallows work best here for that gooey s’mores effect, but mini marshmallows could work if layered.
