FAQs

How do I keep these cookies soft?

The trick is to slightly under-bake them. They should look set on the edges but still puffy and soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes, you can freeze the dough before baking. Simply scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, regular marshmallows can be used, but they may melt and spread more than mini marshmallows, so cut them into smaller pieces if desired.

What can I use instead of graham crackers?

If you don’t have graham crackers, try using digestive biscuits or vanilla wafer cookies for a similar flavor.

How do I make these cookies chewier?

To make them chewier, you can slightly increase the amount of brown sugar and decrease the granulated sugar.

Can I use a hand mixer for this recipe?

This recipe does not require a hand mixer. Mixing by hand is sufficient and keeps things simple.

Are these cookies nut-free?

Yes, this version is nut-free. However, if you add nuts as a variation, it will no longer be nut-free.

What if I don’t have chocolate chips?

If you don’t have chocolate chips, you can use chopped chocolate bars or even chocolate candy pieces for a chunky texture.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, you can easily double the recipe if you need more cookies. Just make sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Be sure to slightly under-mix the dough and avoid using too much flour. If the dough feels too soft, you can refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before baking.

These easy s’mores cookies are the perfect blend of classic campfire flavors and cookie goodness. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, you can have soft, gooey cookies in no time. Whether you’re serving them at a party or enjoying them on a quiet evening, these cookies are sure to please.
