Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-purpose flour base (some recipes mix in graham cracker crumbs or use a graham-based dough)
Sugar
Butter (or oil in some variations)
Egg(s) and vanilla extract
Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Mini marshmallows or soft marshmallow bits
Graham cracker crumbs or graham cracker squares as a base in some versions

Directions

Prepare dough: Cream together butter (or oil) and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients (flour, baking soda/powder, salt), along with graham cracker crumbs if using.
Add mix-ins: Gently fold in chocolate pieces and marshmallows.
Layer or form cookies:
- Option A: Place dough scoops atop graham cracker squares laid on the baking sheet. Optionally press extra marshmallows on top.
- Option B: Mix crumbs into dough directly and drop rounded scoops onto parchment-lined sheet.
Bake: Preheat oven (typically 350–375°F). Bake until edges turn golden and centers are soft and gooey—usually 9–12 minutes depending on size.
Finish topping: Press a chocolate piece on top while still warm for extra melt or add a sprinkling of flaky salt if desired.
Cool briefly: Let cookies rest 2–3 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool further and set.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. Can I use graham crackers instead of crumbs in the dough?

Yes—many recipes place dough atop whole graham cracker squares for extra flavor and crunch.

2. Will the marshmallows melt completely?

They melt and become gooey but remain visible for that classic texture—just watch closely to avoid burning.

3. Can I use vegan or gluten-free ingredients?

Yes! Substitute with vegan marshmallows, dairy-free chocolate, and gluten-free flour/crackers as needed.

4. Do I need to chill the dough?

Not strictly necessary. Some prefer chilling for firm dough and better spread control, but it’s optional.

5. Can I make mini or jumbo versions?

Absolutely. Adjust baking time: 6–8 minutes for minis; up to 15 minutes for jumbo—watch for golden edges.

6. How do I prevent sticking to the pan?

Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to keep the gooey cookies from sticking.

7. What if I don’t have marshmallows?

You can omit them, but they’re key to the gooey s’mores texture. Toasting a few on top after baking can be a fun alternative.

8. Can I replace Hershey’s chocolate with other types?

Yes—any milk or dark chocolate works; chopped bars melt wonderfully.

9. What’s the best way to layer the components?

For structured cookies, place dough onto cracker squares. For more uniform cookies, mix crumbs into dough before baking.

10. Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes—freeze baked cookies and briefly warm before serving to regain gooey texture.
