What’s in This S’mores Cookie Recipe?

Then sit back and listen to the compliments roll in. Best cookie recipe hack ever? It just might be!
- Ready-to-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies: You’ll need a 16-ounce package. We like the pre-formed cookies, but you can also buy a log or tub of refrigerated dough to customize the size.
- Miniature Marshmallows: You can also cut regular-sized marshmallows into quarters.
- Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers: These are designed for dipping, so there’s no need to temper your own chocolate.
- Crushed Graham Crackers: You can buy graham cracker crumbs or whole graham cracker sheets.
Notes from the Test Kitchen
In our experience, these cookies taste the best when they’re made with your favorite brand of refrigerated cookie dough!
Variations on S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookies
You can use milk chocolate chips in place of the melting wafers. Be sure to use a good quality brand of chocolate chips. You can also swap for semisweet or dark chocolate chips or wafers depending on your preference.
