Ingredients for S'mores Cookies
- All-Purpose Flour: Be sure to properly measure your flour (check out Expert Baking Tips below).
- Corn Starch: Helps the cookies to be soft and tender.
- Unsalted Butter: So many cookie recipes call for room temperature butter, but I really love to use melted butter. It helps to create even softer and chewier cookies.
- Eggs: Helps to bind all of the ingredients together and the extra egg yolk adds chewiness.
- Graham Crackers: Make sure that the graham cracker pieces have been crushed up.
- Marshmallows: Use large marshmallows that have been cut in half with scissors. Don't use mini marshmallows as they will melt too quickly in the oven.
- Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet, but you could also use milk or dark chocolate chips.

How to Make S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies
Follow along below for the step-by-step process.
Step 1: In a small bowl, melt the butter and cool on the counter for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 3: Add the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently mix together until combined.
Step 4: Then fold in the chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces.
Step 5: Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (I used my #24) to scoop out the dough. Use your thumb to press into the dough and place half of a large marshmallow into it.
Step 6: Take the cookie dough ball out and gently use your hands to form around the marshmallow (keep the marshmallow on top).
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-14 minutes.
Step 7: Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them over to a cooling rack.
Storing & Freezing
Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 7 days.
To freeze, place the cooled cookies onto a baking pan and freeze until solid. Then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can stay frozen for up to 2 months.
Expert Baking Tips
- Baking Sheet: Only bake 8 cookies per baking sheet and be sure that the pan is lined with parchment paper.
- Measuring Flour: To help ensure you don’t add extra flour, follow these three simple steps: 1) Fluff up the flour using a fork. 2) Spoon the flour into your measuring cup. 3) Scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level out the flour.
- Cookie Scoop: I used a medium-sized cookie scoop, specifically the #24 scoop.
- Perfectly Shaped Cookies: The trick to getting more circular cookies is to use a round cookie cutter to essentially “rotate or spin” around each cookie immediately when they come out of the oven. Since they’re really hot, the cookies will easily mold to that circular shape as you move around them.
Recipe FAQs
Use large marshmallows instead! The mini ones seem to melt way too quickly, causing them to ooze out in a very messy way.
I used a medium-sized cookie scoop (2.7 tablespoons) and don't recommend anything smaller or else the large marshmallow half won't fit.
Because this is a chocolate chip version of a s'mores cookie, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you could use any kind you prefer. Both dark chocolate and milk chocolate would be delicious!
