FAQs

How do I prevent marshmallows from melting too much?

Try folding marshmallows into the dough so they’re not exposed on the surface. You can also freeze mini marshmallows beforehand to help them hold shape longer in the oven.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze it for up to 3 months. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before baking if frozen.

Can I use large marshmallows?

Mini marshmallows work best for even distribution. Large marshmallows tend to melt unevenly and can create large gaps in the cookie.

Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?

Yes, chopped chocolate bars, especially milk chocolate ones, offer that classic s’mores flavor and give pools of melted chocolate in the cookies.

Why are my cookies spreading too much?

Too much butter or warm dough can cause excess spreading. Chill the dough before baking to help cookies hold their shape.

Are these cookies safe to freeze?

Absolutely. Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Let them thaw at room temperature or reheat gently in the microwave.

Can I make these without eggs?

Yes, use an egg substitute like flaxseed meal mixed with water, or a commercial egg replacer for similar results.

How do I make these cookies more chewy?

Use more brown sugar than white sugar for a chewier texture. Also, avoid overbaking – pull them out when just set in the center.

What kind of graham crackers work best?

Honey graham crackers are traditional, but cinnamon or chocolate grahams can add a fun twist.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, just be sure to use a large enough bowl and mix ingredients evenly. Baking time remains the same.

S’mores Cookies are a delightful fusion of everyone’s favorite campfire treat and the classic chocolate chip cookie. Easy to make, incredibly satisfying, and packed with nostalgic flavor, they’re sure to become a go-to dessert in your kitchen.
