Ingredients
Below is a list of ingredients needed for Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies. This recipe uses both graham crackers and honey to capture that S'mores taste.
- Mini Marshmallows- Mini marshmallows are best for this recipe. If you have larger marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Honey Graham Crackers- This gives the cookie that iconic S'mores taste.
- Chocolate Chips- Milk chocolate chips are best in this recipe to represent a Hershey bar.
- Honey- Along with the graham crackers the added honey helps with the authentic S'mores taste.
- Flour- All-purpose flour gives these cookies a light and fluffy texture. If you need it to be gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free flour.
- Egg- Room temperature eggs are best for baking.
- Butter- Be sure to soften the butter before baking for the best texture.
- Pure Vanilla- Gives the cookies a tasty vanilla flavor.
- Sugar- Both white granulated sugar and brown sugar are used. The Brown sugar gives it a deeper flavor and darker look.

How to Make Marshmallow Cookies
Follow these step-by-step instructions for the best results. Use the process photos to help with texture and look.
- In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer and large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients, softened butter, honey, eggs, vanilla, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined. About 2 minutes.
2.Mix in the dry ingredients, graham cracker crumbs, all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Add in the milk chocolate chips and marshmallows (optional). Mix until they are combined throughout the dough.
3. Roll into ½ inch balls and spread evenly on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
4. With your thumb, gently press down on the cookie to make a well on the top of the cookie dough. Place 3 marshmallows in the well. Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hint: If adding marshmallows into the dough, they may ooze out. This makes a little mess but the results are delicious. Using parchment paper helps make for easy cleanup.
Variations
- Dark Chocolate Chips - Use dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
- Marshmallow Deluxe - add marshmallows in the batter for a gooey marshmallow experience. Add ½ cup of mini marshmallows into the batter when mixing in the chocolate chips.
- Campfire Marshmallows- instead of topping each cookie with three mini marshmallows, top each cookie with a deluxe regular sized roasting marshmallow for a marshmallow experience. Note they will expand and may spread off the cookie.
Learn From Us
The first time I made these I didn't make the well big enough for the marshmallows. The marshmallows would slide off the cookie making a gooey mess. To make cute toasted marshmallow cookies, make sure to make a small nest for the marshmallows to stay in.
Storing S'mores Cookies
Store leftover S'mores cookies for 2-3 days in an air tight container. Do not overlap cookies as marshmallows will stick to the other cookies.
The cookies can be frozen in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. When thawing, thaw at room temperature until they reach room temperature. No need to reheat. Marshmallow may have a different texture.
This cookie dough freezes well. We often bake half the batch and freeze the rest of the dough in an air tight container for up to 2 months. When ready to use again, thaw in the refrigerator and for into balls as instructed. Follow normal baking instructions.
Top Tip
When making S'mores Marshmallow Cookies, make sure to follow the mixing directions. Cream the butter and sugar for 2 minutes and don't over-mix when adding in the dry ingredients. This helps give the treat a great fluffy yet chewy texture.

Notes
- Instead of using regular honey graham crackers, buy chocolate graham crackers for a chocolate lovers experience.
