S’more is a short form for “some more,” which is what they were originally called and wrote about in the Girl Scouts’ “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts”. They became extremely popular and were shortened to what we now call S’mores.

What are the Ingredients for a S’more?
All the classic ingredients are in these S’mores Cookies. They are super easy to make in a mini muffin tin and taste just like the age-old treat!!
Ingredients
Salted butter, softened – I tend to like to use what I have on hand, so salted butter is in these cookies.
White granulated sugar and brown sugar – Using a combination of the sugars gives you extra flavor.
Large egg – This holds this all together.
Vanilla extract – A simple ingredient in a lot of baking that really adds lovely flavor.
Crushed graham crackers – Needed in a S’mores cookie!!
All purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda – The usual suspects in cookie making.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips – These add the perfect amount of chocolate to the inside of the cookie.
Marshmallows – You want to use large marshmallows for these cookies, but cut them in half for each cookie.
How to Make S’mores Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Combine the salted butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together for about 2 minutes or until homogenous.
Add the egg and vanilla. Whisk again until the egg is fully incorporated. Gently whisk the graham crackers, flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the wet ingredients until no clumps of dry ingredients remain.
Fill a mini muffin tin with your cookie dough and bake for 11 minutes. Cut your marshmallows in half.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately use the handle of a spoon to create a small indent in the center of each cookie cup. Fill the indents with chocolate chips and top with a marshmallow half with the sticky side facing down.
Set your oven to broil on high and bake the cookies for an additional 2 minutes or until the marshmallows are golden brown. Watch them closely as marshmallows burn quickly. Enjoy!
Recipe Pro Tips!
FAQs
- You can store your cookies on the counter in an airtight container for up to 5 days. I recommend separating the layers with wax or parchment paper if you need to stack the cookies.
- Make sure your graham crackers are finely crushed. You can use a food processor or a ziplock bag and a rolling pin. Finely crushed graham crackers will give you a better distributed flavor.
- Make sure you use regular sized marshmallows not mini or jumbo.
- You can replace the semi-sweet chocolate with milk or dark. You can also use a combination of your favorites.
- Keep a close eye on your cookies while they are in the broiler. The marshmallows will brown fast and you don’t want them to burn.
- You can serve these cookies straight from the broiler or let them cool if you don’t want your marshmallow to be as gooey.
