Ingredients

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

Edible cookie dough (heat-treated flour, butter or dairy-free substitute, sugar, vanilla extract, pinch of salt)
Rolled cookie dough portions or disks
Marshmallows (classic or mini)
Chocolate squares or chips

Directions

Prepare the cookie dough: Make your edible cookie dough, ensuring flour is heat-treated. Let it chill until firm enough to handle.
Shape and assemble: Flatten each dough portion into a disk. Place a marshmallow (or a few minis) and a piece of chocolate between two dough disks. Seal edges gently to form a sandwich.
Toast or bake:
- Campfire: Wrap each sandwich in foil and place it near the flames—or near hot coals—for a few minutes, turning once until the chocolate melts and marshmallow puffs.
- Oven: Preheat to 350 °F (175 °C). Place foil-wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes.
Unwrap and enjoy: Carefully open the foil, let it cool slightly, and dig into the melty, cookie-covered s’mores.

Servings and timing

Makes about 6 cookie dough s’mores (serving size: 1 sandwich each)

Prep time: 15 minutes (plus 30 minutes chilling)
Cook time: 5–7 minutes (oven) or 4–6 minutes (campfire)
Total time: Approximately 50 minutes

Variations

Flavorful dough: Add cocoa powder for chocolate cookie dough or peanut butter for a nutty twist.
Extra crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts—like pecans or almonds—inside the dough before sealing.
Vegan or allergy-friendly: Use vegan butter or coconut oil, dairy-free chocolate, and vegan marshmallows.
Sweet & salty: Insert a small pretzel piece inside for a salty bite or sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, or freeze wrapped sandwiches for up to 1 month.
Reheating: For best results, unwrap and reheat in a 325 °F (160 °C) oven for 3–5 minutes, or warm gently in the microwave for 10–15 seconds—just until melty.

FAQs

1. Can I make the cookie dough dairy-free?

Yes. Substitute vegan butter or coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate and vegan marshmallows to keep it vegan and allergy-safe.

2. How do I heat-treat flour safely?

Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 5–7 minutes, stirring halfway. Let it cool completely before using.

3. Can I make these ahead?

You can assemble the sandwiches and freeze them unbaked. When ready, bake from frozen for about 7–9 minutes or until warmed through.

4. Can I use store-bought cookie dough?

If it’s labeled “safe-to-eat” (heat-treated flour and no raw eggs), yes. Otherwise, homemade is best.

5. What if the cookie dough sticks to my hands?

Chill the dough slightly longer or dust your hands with a little extra heat-treated flour to prevent sticking.

6. Can I toast these over a grill?

Absolutely! Place the foil-wrapped sandwiches on the grill grates over medium heat for 3–5 minutes per side.

7. Any alternative to foil?

You can use parchment paper pockets or a grill-safe baking dish, but foil helps keep the heat contained.

8. Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?

Yes. A chunk of chocolate bar inside creates a more decadent melt, while chips melt faster for gooeyness.

9. Are small marshmallows better than large?

Mini marshmallows melt and puff more evenly, while large marshmallows give big gooey pulls—choose your favorite texture.

10. How do I stop the dough from burning before the marshmallow melts?

Keep the heat moderate, toast briefly, and use foil to prevent direct exposure to flame. If baking, place on the middle oven rack.

Conclusion

Cookie Dough S’mores elevate a beloved classic into a playful, safe-to-eat treat that’s easy to customize and delightfully indulgent. Whether around a campfire, oven, or grill, these chewy, melty sandwiches are sure to win smiles—one gooey bite at a time.
