Graham Cracker S'more Cookies are a chocolate chip marshmallow cookie baked on top of a graham cracker and topped with a piece of chocolate bar. The perfect cookie to bring back all the nostalgia of roasting a s'more by the campfire.
These graham cracker s'more cookies have been a favorite of my whole families since the first time that I made them. They're everything you'd expect from a s'more cookie with chocolate, gooey marshmallows and graham crackers.

Why You Will Love These Cookies
- Tastes like a S'more: These honestly taste so much like a s'more without the fire or mess.
- Perfect for a Party: I love that you can bake 20 of these at a time. Makes them great for a summer bbq or pool party.
- All the Textures: Chewy chocolate chip cookie, gooey marshmallows and crunchy graham crackers.
Ingredient Notes
Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.
- Butter: I use salted butter for my baking.
- Brown Sugar: dark or light will work great for these cookies.
- Flour: Use a scale if possible to have proper measurements.
- Mini Chocolate Chips: Because the cookie dough ball is small, the mini chocolate chips disperse better. If you only have regular size that is fine also.
- Graham Crackers: If possible use nabisco or honeymaid graham crackers, they don't burn like some generic brands.
- Chocolate: I usually top these with hersheys chocolate for nostalgia or part of a trader joes chocolate for a more quality chocolate.
Step by Step Instructions
- Step 1: Place butter and sugars in a large bowl and beat together until mixed well. About 3-4 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix again.
- Step 2: And salt, baking soda, cinnamon and flour to bowl and mix on low, being careful not to over mix. I usually like to stop mixing when I still have flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in mini chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Step 3: Scoop the dough into a medium size ball, about 1½ tablespoon or the #40. Place the dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and chill for a few hours.
- Step 4: Line the graham crackers along the cookie sheets side by side (I do 20 per 13x18 cookie sheet). Place 1 cookie dough ball in the middle of each graham cracker square.
- Step 5: Bake the cookie for 9-11 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Step 6: As soon as you've removed the cookies press one square of chocolate on top of the freshly baked cookie. Doing this should deflate the cookie a bit, and help the chocolate melt right in.
Expert Baking Tips
- Chilling the dough helps these cookies to hold their shape while baking. If you're in a rush throw the cookie dough balls in the freezer for 20 minutes while the oven preheats.
- I have only made these using name brand graham crackers. Some have had issues with generic brands burning.
- If any of the cookie oozes too far off the graham cracker after baking, just take a spoon or spatula and push it back in. Sometimes the marshmallow spreads the cookies a little bit more.
- I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
Storing & Freezing
Graham Cracker S'more Cookies need to be stored in an airtight container, and will last 1-2 days. The graham cracker will start to soften after sitting in the container much longer.
These cookies can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for 2-3 months. Just pull them out and allow them to thaw before eating. You can also keep the cookie dough balls stored in your freezer and pull them out as needed to bake.

5/20/26. I have updated the temperature for baking so that there aren't any issues with graham crackers burning.
This recipe has been adapted from The Mackles'more cookie from Hello Robin in Seattle, Washington. I first saw them when Female Foodie made them.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.

Help my graham is burning before the cookie is done? Do I reduce the temp?
brooke
Did you use honeymaid or nabisco? In my post I mentioned keeping to those name brands and haven't had that happen. You could try reducing and see if that helps.
Kim Huish
These are amazing! So good! My oven cooks a little hotter so I just reduced the oven temp to 375 and they were perfect! Definitely making these again.
Sandy
These cookies are amazing! I baked some where the graham crackers were touching and they were perfect!! I baked a few more and left some space between the graham crackers and noticed they were a little darker. Still soooo very good! Everyone who had some loved them!
Dani
I just maid these and the Graham crackers burned too; I used Honeymaid. Such a disappointment 😪
brooke
I am so sorry. It's so hard to be able to know the exact timing for everyone because ovens can be so different. I will make a note for others to see about keeping a watch for burning.
Tracy
400 was too hot for mine also so I reduced temp of the oven to 375 for 10 min and they turned out perfectly.
Sydney
These were soooooooo good!!! Perfect combo for a cookie, would highly recommend!!
Abi
These cookies were a huge hit and definitely a show stopper! And easy to make! Made these for a big group of college students at a bonfire since we didn’t have any s’mores supplies. Safe to say nobody missed the traditional s’mores. 😉
brooke
Totally agree!! Its really a perfect almost-traditional s'more!
Alyson
I’ve made these twice now and have gotten rave reviews from both, family and friends. I’m a lover of s’mores so I knew these had to be delicious! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
brooke
I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Katherine
I made these last weekend and they are amaaazing!! The whole family loved them! Thank you for a great recipe!
brooke
Thanks so much for trying them! I'm so glad everyone loved them.
Carissa
These cookies are AMAZING! I am not a big fan of cinnamon so almost left that out but I am so glad I added it in! The cinnamon added a little extra something to the cookie dough. I sprinkled a little kosher salt on the dough before cooking. The graham crackers browned a little but did not have a burned taste. I rotated the cookie sheet after 7 minutes so I think that may have helped with the burning too.
brooke
Yay!! Thanks for trying them and sharing. And that's a great idea to rotate the cookie sheet!
Allison
This recipe is AMAZING! I’ve made it twice for special party/gatherings and everyone loves it. I’ve been told multiple times it is “the best cookie I’ve ever had.” So thank you for sharing Brooke!
brooke
Thank you so much Allison! I totally agree they are a crowd pleaser for sure!
Hillary
You'll feel like you're at a fall campfire when you bite into one of these cookies!
I added extra marshmallows after making them the first time as I thought it added more texture and chew - so good!
You really have to be mindful and watch your cookies while they're baking so that the graham crackers do not burn! Mine did the first few times so I played with oven temperatures and time lengths to get it right -- all ovens are a little different.
Overall, these cookies are perfect to take to a party or when you just want a treat that has lots of depth and flavor -- and chocolate!! 🙂
Nicole
I’ve made these twice now. They were a hit with everyone.
Audrey Zimmerman
Oh my! I think this is my newest favorite cookie recipe. It made exactly 37 cookies as the recipe stated it would, which impressed me. These cookies are super-duper delicious. I am definitely writing this one down in my personal recipe book. Yum! Yum!
brooke
Yay!! Thank you so much! These are definitely a favorite at our house too!!
Jessica
Hi there! I decided to freeze my cookie dough balls until I’m ready to make these. Should they be thawed out before I place them on the graham cracker to bake? Thanks!
brooke
Hi!! No, keeping them frozen will work great! Enjoy!
Kim Golding
These cookies are AMAZING! Every time I take them anywhere, I get so many compliments on how delicious they are!
Chris Miller
These were a big hit with my parents and hubs tonight. I got 40 cookies which is perfect; we each had one and there are 36 left for a party this weekend. Sweet baking memories made with my Dad tonight too as I snuck a few small pieces of chocolate to him while my Mom & hubs worked on setting up her ipad.
Sarah
I made these for our 4th of July cookout last night and they were the BIGGEST hit!! Even people who aren’t big sweets eaters were enticed to try one and raved about them! Def a keeper recipe!
AB
I have made this multiple times and people rave about it! One of the ladies I work with always mentions how this is her favorite cookie!
Stephanie
Brooke’s recipes never disappoint and her smores cookies are no exception. It’s the perfect combination of everything that I didn’t know that a cookie needed. My kids’ friends ask me for them all the time.
Allyson
I can’t wait to try these! Do you use an entire square of the TJ chocolate bar for each cookie? The recipe says 37 squares, but the picture almost looks like you chopped them…
Brooke Homec
if i'm using a trader joes square I cut it in half.. if using a hershey square I use a whole one.
