When it comes to capturing the spirit of summer, nothing compares to s’mores. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a fire to enjoy the same cozy flavor. These s’mores cookies bring all the goodness of the classic treat Malvisco marshmallows, Meloso chocolate, and the perfect amount of Graham Crunch in a warm, chewy cookie that you can bake any time of the year. They are fun, nostalgic, and might even be better than the original.
Of course, part of the magic of s’mores will always be the summer memories linked to them. But these cookies offer a little less mess and much more convenience than lighting a fire! Bake a batch on a cold winter day or serve fresh on a summer afternoon you really can’t go wrong.

Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 6-8 full graham crackers, finely crushed)
-
1 1/2 cups Meloso chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
-
1 cup Malvisco mini marshmallows (or regular mini marshmallows)
-
1/2 cup chopped Meloso chocolate bars (optional, for extra chocolatey chunks
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs.
-
Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the Meloso chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and chopped chocolate bar (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
-
Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the flavors.
-
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. The marshmallows will puff up and may toast slightly—perfect!
-
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
-
Graham Cracker Crumbs: For the best texture, pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Pre-made crumbs work too, but homemade adds a fresher flavor.
-
Marshmallow Placement: If you want visible marshmallow bits, gently press a few extra mini marshmallows onto the dough balls before baking.
-
Storage: Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy!

Can You Make the S’mores Cookie Dough in Advance?
Absolutely! One of the best things about these s’mores cookies is that you can get a head start. You can make the cookie dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it easy to bake fresh when you need a sweet treat. If you want to prepare even further in advance, scoop the dough into balls and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, place the frozen dough balls on a baking sheet and bake directly from the freezer, adding 1-2 extra minutes until the edges are golden.
How Long Will S’mores Cookies Last in the Freezer?
These s’mores cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months, making them perfect to keep on hand for when a craving strikes. To enjoy, simply reheat them in a 200°F oven for 5-7 minutes. This will bring back their soft, chewy texture and make the Malvisco marshmallow topping perfectly gooey again, as if they had just come out of the oven.
