I was having a bit of a chocolate craving on Sunday.
Although I like chocolate I usually will choose another flavor over chocolate but on Sunday the only flavor that would satisfy was chocolate.
One of my favorite things to add to chocolate is marshmallows. I love a bowl of chocolate ice cream with a handful of mini marshmallows all mixed up together. I’ve eaten it that way since I was a kid.
Well what is one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of chocolate and marshmallows? S’mores!
I had found a recipe for S’more Cookies in that nifty little cookie cookbook I bought a while back and I figured this chocolate craving was the perfect opportunity to give them a try.
The recipe calls for chocolate pudding mix and dark chocolate chips. I opted for semi sweet since I’m not a dark chocolate fan. The addition of marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs makes it a S’more in cookie form.
The recipe calls for graham cracker crumbs but I think next time I make them I will try it out with just chopped graham crackers so you actually end up with little chunks of graham cracker.
I loved the combination and did not think they were overly chocolate.
To make them a little prettier, I added some marshmallows into the dough once I had formed the balls of cookie dough on the cookie sheet before baking them. I just stuck 2-3 marshmallows into the top of each cookie. I love how they browned up in the oven, looking just like they had been roasted over the fire.
Thanks to the pudding mix the cookie is a nice soft, chewy cookie. The perfect solution to your next chocolate craving.
S’more Cookies
1/4 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
1 C butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 (4oz.) pkg. chocolate instant pudding mix (dry)
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 C flour
1 C semi sweet chocolate chips
1 C marsmallows plus extra for topping
1 C crushed or chopped graham crackers
Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla, eggs and pudding mix.
In another bowl add together the flour and baking soda and gently fold in the wet ingredients. Add in chocolate chips, marshmallows and graham crackers.
Use a cookie scoop and drop dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Press 2-3 marshmallows into the scoop of cookie dough.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.

These look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
These look incredible! I’ve made s’more cookies before but had a completely different recipe than yours…I’ll have to try making these! Beautiful pictures
Dee-licious!!!! Didn’t have enough mini marshmallows for the whole batch so I cut regular marshmallows in half and then pressed a half into each cookie. The appearance was nice and the kids really liked the extra gooey-ness of the larger marshmallow. They also liked the way the marshmallows (both regular and mini) toasted up just like a s’more. I hope these cookies are just as delicious the next day as I plan to give them to a couple of friends who are celebrating birthdays tomorrow. Thank you for sharing yet another scrumptious recipe!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed the cookies and yes they are just as good the next day!
I love, love chocolate and marshmallows together. I too put handfuls of marshmallows over my chocolate ice cream. I also like a handful of mini Nilla Wafers on my ice cream too.. I may try substituting crushed Nilla Wafers in place of the graham crackers.
Oh they look so delicious. I could have a couple with my nightly glass of milk right now.

Leigh Anne,
I made these this morning and didn’t have any graham crackers, so I turned them into Rocky Road cookies, with the addition of pecans!! SO GOOD!!
Great sub! Love the idea of Rocky Road cookies!!!
These were really good and quick to make. I used 1/2 graham crumbs and 1/2 graham cracker pieces. They were a huge hit with my son and his friends.
I clicked over to the link for your “nifty little cookbook”, and as I was checking it out online I saw a recipe for Chocolate Orange Crinkles. They sound so fantastic! Oh, no! Now I’m tempted to buy yet another cookie cookbook, which I cannot justify!! My daughter has laid down the law that if I buy a new cookbook, I have to donate a different cookbook to D.I.

I made these today for a coworker’s birthday! They were delicious! I used mostly graham cracker pieces…it made them a little hard to handle and they broke apart more easily, but the look was definitely more s’more-ish!
