3. Ingredient Notes

Choosing high-quality ingredients really elevates these chocolate marshmallow treats. Use fresh, good-quality chocolate chips — semi-sweet or dark chocolate are classic, but feel free to experiment with milk chocolate or even white chocolate chunks. For marshmallows, mini ones melt more evenly into the dough, giving a gooey, creamy texture in every bite.

Butter, preferably unsalted, adds richness and helps achieve that chewy texture. For an extra layer of flavor, a splash of vanilla extract enhances the overall sweetness. For an authentic s’mores flavor, consider adding graham cracker crumbs into the dough if you want that extra crunch and toasted flavor.

5. How to Make Chewy S’mores Cookies

Mixing the Dough

Start by creaming together softened butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is crucial for that chewy texture. Once smooth, add a beaten egg and vanilla extract. As you mix, the aroma of vanilla begins to fill your kitchen, signaling it’s time to add the dry ingredients.

Adding the Ingredients

Incorporate the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt—carefully. Mix in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows last, folding gently to evenly distribute. The dough should be soft but firm enough to scoop without sticking too much.

Shaping & Baking

Use a cookie scoop to form round balls and place them on a prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie for more even baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes. Look for golden edges and a puffed, chewy center. The irresistible smell of melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows will greet you as they bake.

Cooling & Serving

Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes—this helps set the chewy texture. Serve slightly warm for maximum gooeyness, or store for later happiness!

6. Expert Tips for Success

• Use room temperature butter: It mixes better and helps create a uniform cookie crumb.
• Don’t overbake: Cookies are best when they look slightly underdone—they’ll firm up as they cool.
• Gently fold in marshmallows: Too much mixing can squish them, so treat the marshmallows tenderly.
• Experiment with add-ins: Crushed graham crackers or a sprinkle of sea salt on top enhances the s’mores flavor.

7. Variations & Substitutions

If you’re looking to adapt this recipe, try substituting dark chocolate for milk chocolate or adding some chopped pecans for extra crunch. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil instead of butter. You could also make gluten-free cookies with a blend of gluten-free flours, ensuring everyone can indulge.

8. Storage & Reheating

Store these chewy s’mores cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness. To refresh them, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes or microwave for 10-15 seconds—you’ll get that freshly baked gooeyness back.

9. FAQ

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! Prepare the dough, scoop onto a baking sheet, and freeze. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time for freshly baked, chewy s’mores cookies anytime.

Are these cookies gluten-free?

They can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour and ensuring your chocolate and marshmallows are gluten-free.

How do I get perfectly chewy cookies?

Avoid overbaking, use brown sugar for moisture, and don’t press too hard when flattening. Removing cookies from the oven just before they look done helps keep that chewy texture.

Can I add other ingredients?

Yes! Try adding chopped nuts, crushed graham crackers, or a drizzle of caramel on top for extra flavor.
