Getting started is easy because the ingredients in this S’mores Cookies Recipe are pantry-friendly but packed with flavor and texture. Each one plays a crucial role in creating that perfect balance of chewiness, sweetness, and a slight hint of spice that really makes these cookies shine.

Flour and graham flour: The flour combo gives the cookies a tender but sturdy texture with that unmistakable graham cracker flavor.
Baking soda and cinnamon: These add the right lift and a warm, subtle spice that complements the honey and chocolate beautifully.
Butter and sugars: Creamy butter, brown sugar, and a little granulated sugar create the soft, chewy base with a rich caramel note.
Honey: This natural sweetener adds depth and moisture for perfectly chewy cookies.
Eggs and vanilla extract: Essential for structure and flavor, binding all ingredients while adding a warm, sweet aroma.
Egg whites, sugar, agave, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla bean paste (for marshmallow cream): These ingredients whip up into a glossy, airy marshmallow cream that toasts beautifully.
Dark chocolate and heavy cream (for ganache): Smooth ganache provides rich, bittersweet contrast to the sweet marshmallow and graham flavors.

How to Make S’mores Cookies Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the cookies

First, preheat your oven to 350℉ and line baking sheets with parchment—you want a non-stick surface to make removing those delicate cookies easy. Mix all your dry ingredients—flour, graham flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon—so everything is evenly distributed before combining with wet ingredients. Next, cream your softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy; this will ensure your cookies have that dreamy, tender crumb everyone loves.

Step 2: Combine wet and dry ingredients

Add honey, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing everything until smooth. Then, on a low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, just until you see no more streaks of flour—overmixing can make your cookies tough, which we definitely want to avoid in this soft S’mores Cookies Recipe.

Step 3: Scoop and bake the cookies

Using a large cookie scoop is a game-changer for uniformity and clean hands. Place dough balls at least two inches apart on your prepared baking sheets—they will spread just a little but you want to keep the shape neat for sandwiching later. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Let these cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the marshmallow cream

In a clean, heatproof bowl, gently whisk together egg whites, sugar, agave, cream of tartar, and salt. Place this bowl over simmering water and whisk constantly, heating until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture reaches 160℉. Then whip it in a stand mixer until medium-stiff peaks form—this will look glossy and cloud-like. Add vanilla bean paste for an extra burst of warm vanilla flavor and those beautiful little vanilla flecks.

Step 5: Toast the marshmallow cream

Pipe or spoon the marshmallow cream onto the bottom halves of half your cooled cookies. Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the tops until they get that irresistible golden brown. This step recreates the classic campfire gooeyness right in your kitchen! For safety and ease, try placing the cookie on a glass and rotating it while torching to keep your hand far from the flame.

Step 6: Prepare the chocolate ganache and assemble

Microwave chopped dark chocolate with heavy cream in short bursts, stirring to smooth out the ganache. Immediately spoon this luscious chocolate onto the other half of the cookies and sandwich those toasted marshmallow cookies together to complete the masterpiece. Your s’mores cookies are ready to devour!

Garnishes

These cookies are stunning on their own, but you can add even more fun by sprinkling extra crushed graham cracker crumbs on top of the ganache before sandwiching or dusting a little cocoa powder for extra chocolate depth. For a festive touch, colorful mini marshmallows or a drizzle of melted white chocolate can make these treats even more special.

Side Dishes

A warm mug of coffee, a creamy latte, or a tall glass of cold milk perfectly complement the gooey texture and rich flavors of the S’mores Cookies Recipe. If you’re serving a group, consider pairing with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to add freshness and contrast to the sweet, rich cookies.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties or gifts, wrap each cookie sandwich in parchment paper tied with twine for a charming rustic vibe. Or stack a few on a pretty plate and top with a toasted marshmallow on a skewer as a playful nod to the campfire origins. If you’re feeling adventurous, try flipping the sandwich so the toasted marshmallow shows on top for a real visual wow!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover S’mores Cookies keep best in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. Keep in mind that the marshmallow cream is soft and may get a bit stickier, but the flavors only deepen with short-term storage.

Freezing

If you want to save these delights for longer, store the baked cookies (without marshmallow cream or ganache) separately in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge before assembling the marshmallow cream and chocolate ganache fillings.

Reheating

For fresh-from-the-oven warmth, briefly microwave your assembled cookies for 7 to 10 seconds to soften the chocolate and fluff the marshmallow cream, but watch carefully to avoid melting too much. You can also gently re-toast the marshmallow layer with your kitchen torch for a quick refresh.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought graham cracker crumbs instead of graham flour?

While graham flour gives cookies their authentic texture and flavor, you can experiment with finely ground graham cracker crumbs as a substitute. The texture might be slightly different, but the cookies will still taste delicious.

What if I don’t have a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallow?

If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can place the cookies under the oven broiler for a very brief time, watching closely to avoid burning, or simply enjoy the marshmallow cream untoasted. The flavor will still be fantastic!

Can I make these cookies vegan?

This exact S’mores Cookies Recipe relies on eggs and dairy, but you can try swapping out butter for vegan butter, using aquafaba in place of egg whites for the marshmallow cream, and vegan chocolate. Results may vary, so some experimentation might be needed!

How do I know when the marshmallow cream is ready?

It should be smooth, glossy, and hold medium-stiff peaks after whipping. It won’t be dry or stiff like meringue, but it should be firm enough to pipe and toast without melting away.

Why do you recommend agave instead of corn syrup?

Agave is my favorite for its mild sweetness and availability in my pantry, but you can definitely substitute light corn syrup or even honey if you prefer—each will bring a slightly different flavor and texture nuance to the marshmallow cream.

Final Thoughts

This S’mores Cookies Recipe has a special way of bringing cozy memories to life with every bite. From the tender graham cookies to the rich ganache and that unforgettable toasted marshmallow cream, these cookie sandwiches are a delightful twist on the classic campfire treat. I can’t wait for you to try making them at home—they’re sure to become a staple in your dessert lineup, perfect for sharing with friends or savoring on a quiet afternoon. Happy baking!
