gooey s’mores cookies

Who doesn’t love a fun new twist on the s’more? I’ve got so many bookmarked, it’s hard to decide which one to try. This version includes a good amount of graham cracker crumb in the dough, along with Jet Puffed Mallow Bits, which remind me a lot of the Lucky Charms marshmallows. The Mallow Bits are absolutely genius in this case, because they don’t disintegrate when they’re baked, like the real marshmallows tend to do. Complete the s’more trifecta with mini Hershey Kisses, chunks of a giant Hershey’s bar, or, my favorite, Ghiradelli’s large milk chocolate chips. WOW! Portable s’mores, campfire not necessary.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (7 full graham cracker sheets)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup Mini Hershey’s Kisses (or chocolate chips/chunks)
1 cup Jet Puffed Mallow Bits

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, use a food processor or blender to crush 7 graham cracker sheets into 3/4 cup fine crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Add the chocolate and marshmallows and stir to combine.

Place 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Makes 2 dozen cookies.

    where do you find marshmallow bites? I haven’t seen them in my store, maybe not looking in the right section.

    • Two Tiny Kitchens says:

      Yes, these can be difficult to find. Ashley can’t find them in NYC, and I couldn’t get them at my local Giant grocery. I did find them at Target, on the baking isle with the marshmallows and also where the hot chocolate supplies are. Good luck!

    I was viewing Pinterest.com today and saw a picture of your beautiful s’mores cookies. I was so impressed, I found my way to your lovely website. When reading over the list of ingredients, I can honestly say I had never heard of mallow bits before. I actually went to the Kraft website looking for them. When I couldn’t find them on their site, I did a search and found them on Amazon. I went to my grocery store this very day to search them out and low and behold, there they were!! I was so excited I couldn’t stand myself. I am now armed and ready to make these fabulous looking cookies. I was so impressed with your lovely photography, I emailed the Kraft company to compliment them on their new product and mention your inadvertent “advertising.” I sure ran out to buy Mallow Bits after seeing what your skills have done with it!!

    I want to make these SOOOO BAD!! I cannot find these bits anywhere!! Went to Target, Stop&Shop, Market Basket, Shaws and even tried CVS?!?!?! Arggghhhhh!! Help!! I live In Massachusetts. Anybody have any ideas for me? Who makes them, what kind of container do they come in?
    It was love at first site when I saw the picture of these cookies online!! These are soooo right up my alley!!! LOVE S’mores!!

    That’s sooo funny!!! I bought the ingredients at the supermarket tonight b/c I gave up on the marshmellow bits! Haha!
    Was wondering, do you need the hershey bar to be “king Size” because I couldn’t find the real large kingsized hershey bar I remember it would say it on the outside of the package when we used to get those when i was a kid So I just got the large hershey bar. Thought that would be fine but just wanted to make sure. because those king sized were a really thick bar.

    • Two Tiny Kitchens says:

      You’ve probably already made them, but I have used a large bar in the past and it worked well, hope yours turned out!!

  9. Kimberly says:

    Mine were a huge hit!! I used the larger bars they are not as thick as the “king-sized” and I got the ones with almonds!! Everyone loved them, at a party last night! They are gonna be a fav of mine.
    I hate spreading the fluff tho, rather difficult part of preparation! But the outcome is worth it!!

    Omigosh ….Deeelish! I just made a batch of these for a xmas party. They are not overly sweet (which we like) and the hint of graham cracker along w/ the marshmallow bits + chocolate satisfies the s’more-taste we were craving. Thank you for the FAB recipe!! :)
