The image shows five small cookie sandwiches placed on a piece of parchment paper on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has a bottom layer of golden-brown cookie dough with a slightly crumbly texture, topped with a square piece of dark chocolate, and finished with a large, soft, white marshmallow resting on top.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra gooey marshmallows, use larger marshmallows cut in half instead of mini ones.
  • Try swapping Hershey’s bars with your favorite chocolate squares or even peanut butter cups for a twist.
  • If you don’t have a broiler, toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch or warm them in the oven at 375°F for a few minutes.

Storage

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The marshmallows are best enjoyed fresh, but you can warm the cookies briefly in the oven before serving to soften the marshmallows again.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate bars instead of mini Hershey’s?

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 graham cracker (broken into small pieces)

Toppings

  • 12 mini Hershey’s bars
  • 12 marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir well to create a smooth, uniform mixture that will help achieve a rich cookie base.
  3. Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Beat the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until fully blended, which adds moisture and enhances flavor.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt until all ingredients are thoroughly combined to form the cookie dough.
  5. Mix in Graham Cracker Pieces: Fold in the broken graham cracker pieces evenly throughout the dough to infuse classic s’mores crunch and texture.
  6. Shape Dough Balls: Scoop the dough into 12 evenly sized balls and place them on a large baking sheet, spacing them to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  8. Add Chocolate Topping: Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press one mini Hershey’s bar onto the top of each cookie, ensuring some coverage for melting.
  9. Top with Marshmallows and Broil: Place one marshmallow on each chocolate-topped cookie. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully until marshmallows toast to a golden brown.
  10. Serve: Allow the cookies to cool slightly, then serve immediately to enjoy the melty gooey texture at its best.

Notes

  • When broiling marshmallows, watch closely to avoid burning as they can toast quickly.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with larger ones cut in half if preferred.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, try using dark chocolate mini bars instead of Hershey’s milk chocolate.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To keep cookies softer, add an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough.
