S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Introduction
S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies combine the nostalgic flavors of campfire treats with a soft, chewy cookie. Each bite features a gooey marshmallow, melted chocolate, and a crunchy graham cracker center wrapped in classic cookie dough. These treats are perfect for any occasion when you want a fun twist on a beloved favorite.

Ingredients
- 6 sheets graham crackers, broken in half to make 12 pieces
- 12 marshmallows, s’more shaped or jumbo
- 12 full-sized Reese’s peanut butter cups (or substitute with Oreos or chocolate squares)
- 36 oz chocolate chip cookie dough (premade tub)
- Optional: finishing salt and extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare the s’mores base by placing half a graham cracker piece on the baking sheet, then top it with one Reese’s peanut butter cup (or your chosen chocolate), followed by one marshmallow.
- Step 2: Scoop a large ball of cookie dough, about 3 ounces or roughly the size of an ice cream scoop. Flatten the dough slightly and drape it over the s’mores stack, forming a mound that fully covers the marshmallow and chocolate. Press the dough edges down to seal it onto the graham cracker. Bake only 4 to 6 cookies per sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Step 3: Bake for 7 minutes, then carefully turn each cookie over to ensure even baking. Continue baking for another 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown (total baking time about 13–15 minutes). The cookies will spread during baking, which is normal.
- Step 4: Remove cookies from the oven and, while still warm, use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to gently round the edges into a neat circle. Sprinkle with a few extra chocolate chips and optionally a pinch of finishing salt. Let cookies cool before serving to enjoy gooey, melty s’mores inside a soft cookie shell.
Tips & Variations
- For a nut-free version, substitute Reese’s cups with chocolate squares or chunks.
- Use jumbo marshmallows for extra gooey centers or mini marshmallows for smaller bites.
- Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
- To make baking easier, chill cookie dough balls slightly before assembling to slow spreading.
Storage
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep refrigerated up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the marshmallow and chocolate before serving.

FAQs
Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of store-bought?
Yes, homemade chocolate chip cookie dough works well in this recipe. Just be sure it’s sturdy enough to enclose the marshmallow and chocolate without breaking.
Why do I need to turn the cookies during baking?
Turning the cookies halfway ensures they bake evenly and develop a uniform golden edge, preventing one side from over or undercooking.

Ingredients
Base and Filling
- 6 sheets graham crackers, broken in half to 12 pieces
- 12 marshmallows, s’more shaped or jumbo
- 12 Reese’s peanut butter cups, full-sized (oreos or chocolate squares can be used instead)
Cookie Dough
- 36 oz chocolate chip cookie dough tub
Optional Toppings
- Finishing salt
- Additional chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet and preheat oven: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures even baking and a clean release.
- Assemble the s’mores base: On the prepared baking sheet, stack half a graham cracker as the base. Place one Reese’s peanut butter cup (or 3-4 chocolate squares as an alternative) on top of the cracker, then add one marshmallow, creating the classic s’mores layering.
- Encase the s’mores with cookie dough: Take large scoops of the chocolate chip cookie dough, approximately 3 oz each (about the size of an ice cream scoop). Flatten each scoop and gently drape it over the s’mores stack, forming a mound that fully covers the marshmallow and chocolate. Seal the dough edges to the graham cracker base to prevent leaking during baking. Bake only 4-6 cookies per sheet as they will spread.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. After this initial bake, carefully turn each cookie to ensure even cooking, then bake for an additional 6-8 minutes or until the cookie edges turn slightly golden brown. Total bake time is about 13-15 minutes.
- Shape and finish the cookies: Once out of the oven, use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to gently scoop the edges of the warm cookies inward, forming a round, neat shape. Sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top along with a light pinch of finishing salt for extra flavor contrast.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool sufficiently to let the gooey center set slightly. Enjoy these warm, melty s’mores stuffed cookies as a delightful treat.
Notes
- For a chocolate variation, substitute Reese’s peanut butter cups with your choice of chocolate squares or Oreos.
- Only bake a few cookies at a time to prevent crowding as they spread significantly.
- Using finishing salt enhances the flavor by balancing the sweetness.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
