Make the Cookie Dough
Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Assemble the Cookies
Scoop dough into 24 balls. Top 12 balls with mini marshmallows, chocolate, and graham cracker. Cover with remaining dough, roll into large balls, and freeze for 30 minutes.
Bake and Cool
Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment. Place 3–4 cookie balls per sheet and bake for 13–15 minutes, until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Variations and Substitutions for S’mores Stuffed Cookies
To adjust this indulgent recipe, swap the milk chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chips for a richer, less sweet cookie. If you’re out of Hershey’s bars, use any chocolate bar or chunks instead. For a flavor twist, try flavored marshmallows (like strawberry or caramel) or replace the graham crackers with chocolate or cinnamon varieties. You can also use unsalted butter and increase the salt slightly to control the saltiness. For a smaller batch or portion control, use mini cookie scoops and reduce the fillings accordingly.
Tips and Tricks for S’mores Stuffed Cookies
Top your cookies with mini marshmallows before baking to get that gooey, caramelized finish reminiscent of a campfire s’more. No Hershey’s? No problem—swap in your favorite chocolate bar for a custom twist. Try using almond extract instead of vanilla to add a subtle, nutty flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat. And if you’re feeling adventurous, crush up some Oreos and fold them into the dough to make Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies that are as fun as they are delicious.
