Chewy S’mores Cookies
Before you all close up shop for the weekend, maybe to enjoy the real kick-off to summer with a BBQ or family potluck, I have one last recipe to share. I don’t personally have big holiday plans, but I did make these awesome cookies which to me represent everything to come in the next 3 months. When I think of S’mores I think of cook-outs and camp fires and card games at the picnic table. These cookies are a cross between the messy-gooey treats I grew up loving, and a simple chocolate chip cookie. The edges are crispy, the middles are chewy, and they are full of marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate chunk. Are you as excited as I am?
I’m also excited about these cookies because this is the first thing I’m posting on this blog that was baked, photographed, edited and written all by myself. Meaning- I managed this without a helping hand to entertain the baby so I could work. I did it you guys! I figured out how to do things during his nap even though they are short. We have to celebrate these small acheivements right?
Anyway, I think these cookies are delicious and special and perfect for a last minute addition to your weekend plans. They really taste like S’mores, with help of my handy blow-torch, which I used to toast the marshmallow a bit after these came out of the oven. It was so worth it for that slightly-burnt taste that I absolutely adore. If you like S’mores- you’ll love these. Have a great long weekend everyone!

These DO look chewy! Holy delicious!
These look chewy and delicious! Have a good weekend! =)
Perfect way to kick off the summer! Love these babies!!!
Few suggestions. I tried this recipe years ago and developed some modifications you might consider. Use freeze dried marshmallows, they give the same chewiness but don’t turn your cookie into looking like a failed science experiment. Also, I substituted some of the flour with group graham crackers and then used Twix bar pieces in addition to the chips. Gives the crunch of a graham cracker which helps the mind say “S’mores” no one can tell they are not graham crackers. Graham crackers tend to dissolve and you loose the texture. Good luck, please this is not a commentary on your recipe, just some things I do with the same type of cookie.
Saw these on IG and started drooling — totally started drooling when I saw them on here, too.
Way to go! That’s awesome you made these while Hugo was napping! Man, now I feel lazy because I saw these and was like “man, I should make some cookies but I don’t want to go to the store.” And I don’t even have kids. So me = lazybones. You = super amazing mama!
Brilliant idea for a cookie! Love it!
Just made these this past weekend and I’m obsessed! Super easy to make and they come out perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
I read the comments and I used 1/2 cup of ground graham crackers and 1 1/2 + 2 tablespoons of flour. The cookies had a subtle graham cracker flavor.
Thank you so much!
