Step-By-Step S’mores Cookies with Chocolate Chips Instructions with Photos

Step 1. Preheat the Oven for S’mores Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2. Combine the Flour, Salt, and Baking Soda

In a medium-sized bowl, add all of the dry ingredients – 4 and 1/2 cups of flour together with 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Mix until well blended.

Step 3. Soften the Butter

In a small bowl that is safe for the microwave, soften four sticks of butter for about one minute. If you need to use a measuring cup, four sticks of butter are equivalent to 2 cups of butter. Keep an eye on the butter in the microwave since all microwaves are not the same, some cook hotter and faster than others.

Step 4. Combine the Softened Butter, Sugars, and Vanilla Extract

In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients together – the softened butter together with 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1 and 1/2 cups of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Stir the softened butter together with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.

Step 5. Add the Eggs

Put 4 eggs, one at a time, in the bowl together with the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Mix the eggs, softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 6. Add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients

Slowly add the flour mixture together with the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. It is easier to stir the ingredients together when the flour is added a little bit at a time.

Stir with a spoon or spatula the flour, butter, sugar, and egg mixture all together until well blended.

Step 7. Add the Graham Crackers and Chocolate Chips

Add 2 and 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and 9 full cracker sheets of graham crackers together with the cookie dough. Break the graham crackers into pieces or crumble them, whichever you prefer. We broke them into pieces.

Mix it all up together with a spoon or spatula until it is blended into cookie dough.

Step 8. Add the Mini Marshmallows

There are a couple of different ways to add the mini marshmallows. The easiest way is to add 1 cup of mini marshmallows together with the cookie dough and then stir all together until well blended.

Or you can use a cookie scoop and fill it half full of cookie dough, then push a couple of mini marshmallows into the center of the dough.

Then cover the marshmallows with more cookie dough to hide the marshmallows. Whether you choose the easy way or the cookie scoop way, the cookies will taste the same.

Step 9. Line Cookie Sheet with Parchment Paper

Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the cookie sheet, then use a cookie scoop or a spoon and place the cookie dough on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

Note: Parchment paper is a must. for example, without it, the cookies will spread out more than you want them to making the cookies thinner. Also, the cookies will bake a bit faster, leaving the bottom and the edges of the cookie darker brown than you want them to be.

Step 10. Bake the S’mores Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Put the cookie sheet in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes until the edges are slightly browned. After that, let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about 2 to 3 minutes. Trying to remove them sooner will break them apart because cookies are very soft right when they come out of the oven.

After the 2 to 3 minutes on the cookie sheet, place the cookies on a cooling rack for about the same amount of time, a couple of minutes so they can completely cool.

Note: Always keep an eye on the cookies while baking them in the oven. All ovens are not the same, some ovens can be hotter than other ovens, hence burning the cookies or baking them too brown on the bottom and around the edges.

FAQs for S’mores Cookies with Chocolate Chips

1. Does the Cookie Dough Need to be Refrigerated Before Baking?

Usually, a recipe will specify whether or not the cookie dough needs to be put in the refrigerator before baking. If the recipe says to put the cookie dough in the refrigerator before baking, then do so.

In this s’mores cookie recipe, we did not put the cookie dough in the refrigerator and we had no problems. However, putting the cookie dough in the refrigerator will not hurt anything so you can if you want to. Also, if you are not ready to start baking the cookies yet it is okay to refrigerate the cookie dough until ready.

2. What is a S’more?

A s’more is usually made by the campfire and it consists of two squares of graham crackers, a piece of Hershey’s chocolate, and a large marshmallow. The first step is to toast the marshmallow over the campfire to get it toasty and hot. Once the marshmallow is done cooking over the fire, the s’more is assembled by placing the toasted marshmallow in between the two squares of graham cracker with a piece of Hershey’s chocolate. The final step is to squeeze the graham crackers together to squish the toasted marshmallow and chocolate while the heat from the marshmallow melts the chocolate.

We call this cookie recipe a s’mores cookie because it has mini marshmallows, crushed-up graham crackers, and chocolate chips mixed into the cookie dough which are the main ingredients of a campfire s’more.
