Warning: these s’mores cookies are massive, but you won’t want to share after you bite into the gooey marshmallow, melting chocolate, and crunchy caramelised graham cracker!

‍

S’mores are the quintessential nostalgic summer treat. S’mores cookies take this sweet campfire classic up a notch.  These pillowy cookies have a graham cracker wafer on the bottom, which is topped with a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow, and then covered with cookie dough. These cookies are thick, soft and chewy. As for the recipe, it is straightforward and accessible. No stand mixer, browned butter, or chilling time required! The ingredients are pantry staples. If you want an ultra simple and quick treat, you can even use store bought cookie dough (though I obviously recommend you make the cookies from scratch). The cookie dough comes together really easily. The dark brown sugar gives these cookies caramel undertones and keeps them soft and chewy. The cornstarch serves to also keep these cookies soft, as well as thick. The extra egg yolk adds richness. Ideally, the cookie dough would chill in the fridge for 2 hours before going into the oven, but you can get away with not chilling the dough this time.

With the wildfires raging in Québec and thick smoke filling the air, nights by the campfire are unlikely this summer. These s'mores cookies provide a tasty alternative to the classic roasted marshmallow treat, and they are sure to satisfy your nostalgic cravings.

Tips

‍

Chocolate

‍

I opted for a mix of milk and semi-sweet chocolate in the cookie batter.  For the piece of chocolate sandwiched between the graham cracker wafer and the marshmallow, I snapped off a piece of Hershey’s milk chocolate bar.  You can use chocolate chips instead if that’s what you have on hand.
