What’s in Smores Cookies?
Full recipe ingredients and amounts in the printable recipe card below.
- The cookie cup: graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract.
- Mini marshmallows and Hershey bars – what’s a s’more without them?
How to make Smores cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350° then lightly spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
Whisk dry ingredients together: graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl then set aside.
In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the room temp butter and both sugars together then fold in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour mixture to the butter stirring until well combined.
Using a 1″ cookie scoop form each cookie dough ball and drop into the prepared mini muffin tin (you’ll have 24).
Use a 1 teaspoon size measuring spoon to gently press down on the ball forming the cup.
Bake 8-9 minutes (until edges are golden) then remove from the oven. NOTE: Baking time will vary with ovens.
The cups puff slightly when they’re in the oven so while they’re still warm using the same teaspoon measuring spoon press down to re-form the cup then add 4 mini marshmallows to each, gently pressing to nestle them in.
How to toast the marshmallows:
Transfer the muffin tin to the broiler and broil about 1 minute or until golden brown – watch very carefully so they don’t burn.
Remove from the oven, section the Hershey’s chocolate bar then press a piece of Hershey’s chocolate into the top of each cookie. Transfer to a cooling rack until they’re room temperature then eat!
Tips for the best cookies:
- Use graham cracker sheets instead. Add to a ziptop bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Use a brûlée torch to brown marshmallow instead of the broiler.
- Instead of mini marshmallows buy large marshmallows and dice them up.
How to store leftover cookies:
Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter up to 3 days.
These cookies also freeze well in a freezer-safe container up to 3 months.
