- 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.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love that you put the ingredient quantity under each step. No more scrolling back and forth! Thank you!
We’re so happy to hear you love this feature, Amy!
Agreed!
Hi Becky! For the melted chocolate, how long before they set on the cookie? I’m afraid to refrigerate them as the cookie itself might harden. I live in a tropical, humid country so I don’t know how else to set the melted chocolate!
It totally depends on the environment of your house, unfortunately. It will probably take longer for you if it’s high in humidity and the house is warm
I am not much of a baker but I made these and everyone in my family loved them! It was easy for a beginner baker like me. Thank!
Now you can move onto the next level!
I made these for my digital classroom. They were very easy to make and tasted so good. I used a Hershey bar instead of chocolate chips. I broke the chocolate bar into pieces and placed onto the hot cookies after they came out of the broiler. I let them sit for a couple of minutes, then I spread the chocolate with a butter knife. I think placed my graham cracker crumbs. I let the cookies dry over night in a single layer in an air tight container. I can’t wait until we are back in school to try with my students.
That sounds so yummy!! I hope your students enjoy them!
I get rave reviews all the time when I make these! I cheat a little and start with the heath bar cookies from Publix bakery.
Nothing wrong with that! I’m glad you enjoy them!
I made these with the “mi big fat chocolate chip cookies” recipe from food network. And I dipped them in chocolate and added the Graham cracker crumbs before the marshmallow in attempt to toast everything all at once (no avail maybe if I did chocolate and crumbs and toasted a few minutes then marshmallow and toasted again) either way they are amazing and I made the cookies a day in advance bc of the perfect softness. They are just great and that’s saying the most from me because I don’t go around complimenting food all that often. I made a dozen 1/4 cup cookies and ended up with 4 after my party. This is day 2 now and the marshmallow is still really soft overall like I said just perfect especially with the recipe from food network!!! Reccomend reccomend reccomend!
Also I added 2 tablespoons crisco to the dipping chocolate and after the crumbs and toasted marshmallow I drizzled more chocolate on top to make it even more fancy looking!
I can’t wait to try these!
I hope you love them!
It stays melty for a loooong time…and you can definitely keep it in a small crockpot on the warm setting!
