Why do we love these S’mores Stuffed Cookies?

These are fairly simple to make even though they may sound like they are complicated. Stuffing the cookies is simple because you place the 3 main ingredients on top of a scoop of cookie dough then add another scoop on top and then you have your stuffed cookie.

They don’t take too long to make, and as long as you have your marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, along with the usual suspects with a chocolate chip cookie, you really are good to go. Simple ingredients that make a tasty cookie. Plus you can always use half of a marshmallow if you can’t get your hands on the mini ones.

We love these cookies because the flavor is just so comforting and familiar. The whole family is going to love them and we definitely think you should whip a batch as soon as you can.

Ingredients – What you need for the S’mores Stuffed Cookies 

For the cookies

Flour

We like to use all-purpose flour when it comes to the cookies and for these delicious cookies, you will need 3 1/2 cups. When measuring the flour use a spoon and sift it before adding it to your cookie mixture. When it comes to dry ingredients this is one of the staples you will find in most cookie recipes. Flour provides the base and structure for the cookie dough.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is such an important element to add to the flour mixture. It helps with the rising and the overall shape of the cookie. You only need 1 1/2 tsp for this recipe.

Butter

For this recipe, you need 1 1/3 cups of butter that is softened at room temperature. This recipe calls for salted butter as there is a lot of sweetness with some of the other ingredients so the butter will help balance out those flavors.

Sugar

Sugar will help to give that chewy texture we know and love when it comes to these cookies. For this recipe, you will need 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Both will help produce incredible chewy cookies.

Egg

Three eggs are the perfect addition to get the dough’s texture just right. The egg yolk also helps with the cookies’ chewy texture and golden color.

Vanilla extract

You can’t go wrong with the vanilla flavor of these delicious cookies. You will need 2 tsp of vanilla for this cookie recipe.

Salt

While we may already be using salted butter this recipe really works with that extra savory flavor that salt can bring. Adding just 3/4 tsp will be great.

Chocolate chips

We love a chocolate chip chewy cookie and adding 3 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips will really transform these cookies to a different level.

The added extras

Mini Marshmallows

What are s’mores cookies if they don’t have that gooey marshmallow center? You need 36 mini marshmallows for this recipe although you could cut up large marshmallows if you can’t get any of the smaller ones.

Hershey’s

You just need one 1 chocolate bar of Hershey’s that has been broken into 12 pieces.

Graham crackers

A usual ingredient when it comes to a s’more but for these stuffed cookies you just need one large graham cracker that has been broken into 12 pieces.

How to make the S’mores Stuffed Cookies

First of all, gather all of your ingredients together. Preheat the oven to 375F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined – set aside 

In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugars until fluffy, then you can add in the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine. You can use an electric mixer for this.

Now get your dry ingredients and mix them into the butter mixture. Lastly, you will want to gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop cookie dough into 24 equal size balls. Get one cookie dough ball and place 3 mini marshmallows, 1 piece of chocolate, and a graham cracker piece on top of the cookie. These are your s’mores ingredients and will become the center of the cookie dough.

Top with another scoop of cookie and gently roll into a large cookie dough ball. This recipe makes 12 giant s’mores cookies. Freeze the cookie balls for 30 minutes. 

Get your prepared baking sheet. Place only 3 to 4 dough balls per sheet depending on your cookie sheet size, these cookies are enormous and will spread.

Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, let cookies sit for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Take these chewy chocolate chip cookies to the next level

You could add some marshmallows to the top of these cookies to caramelize them when baking.

If you don’t have any Hershey’s chocolate you could use other chocolate that you enjoy with your s’mores.

Almond extract will give a nutty flavor to these cookies instead of using vanilla. It will work well with the chocolate.

Serve these warms with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

What about something a little different? You could create oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies by adding some crushed oreos in the same way. Yum!
