S’mores Cookies

S’mores cookies combine everything you love about classic s’mores in the form of a thick, chewy, and marshmallow-topped cookie. No campfire needed for this treat, but a batch of these delicious cookies is definitely worth gathering around for!

There are so many ways to enjoy that classic graham, marshmallow, and chocolate combo, like my s’mores dip or s’mores crescent rolls, but this s’mores cookie recipe might be the cutest of them all.

If you’ve tried my s’mores chocolate chip cookies, these have a different twist—more like a blossom-style cookie, with a fun, marshmallow-and-kiss center that makes them perfect for parties and cookie trays. The shape is similar to peanut butter blossom cookies, but with all the flavor of a summertime s’more.

These little treats are so much fun to make, but they are equally as impressive! Not only are they perfect during the summer but for the holidays and year round too.

Ingredients for S’Mores Blossom Cookies

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Hershey kiss s’mores cookies at home:

• Unsalted butter – Softened to room temperature so it creams easily.
• Granulated sugar + brown sugar – The brown + white sugar combo gives the cookies structure, sweetness, and that soft, chewy center.
• Large egg – Also at room temperature for even mixing.
• Vanilla extract – For classic cookie flavor.
• All-purpose flour – Measured with the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense cookies.
• Graham crackers – These should be crushed into fine crumbs. Use a food processor, a blender, or crush them in a freezer bag with a rolling pin. You can also purchase graham cracker crumbs at the store for a shortcut.
• Baking soda + salt – For rise and flavor balance.
• Marshmallows – Cut in half to sit neatly on top of each cookie. I have a recipe for homemade marshmallows that would be great here.
• Hershey’s Kisses – Classic milk chocolate is traditional, but any variety works!

How to Make S’mores Cookies

This section shows you how to make the recipe with step-by-step photos and instructions. For the full printable recipe, see the recipe card below. 

Step 1: Make the Dough. Beat the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk the dry ingredients. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.

Step 2: Chill the Dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. This helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances flavor. If you’re making the cookie dough ahead of time, feel free to leave it chilling overnight.

Step 3: Shape and Bake. Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the chilled dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced a couple of inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Marshmallows. Remove cookies from the oven and gently press a halved marshmallow (cut side down) into the center of each cookie.

Step 5: Broil to Toast. Set oven to broil and return cookies to the oven for 1–2 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown. Watch closely!

Step 6: Finish with a Kiss. Press a Hershey Kiss into the top of each gooey marshmallow as soon as the cookies come out. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Storage

Room temperature: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Freeze the cookie dough balls before baking, then bake straight from frozen. Add marshmallows and kisses after baking as directed. Baked cookies don’t freeze well due to the marshmallow texture.

Variations

• Use Hershey’s bar pieces instead of kisses for a more traditional look.
• Fold mini chocolate chips in to the dough for extra chocolate throughout.
• For extra crunch, roll dough balls in crushed graham crackers before baking.
