Ingredients
Cookie Base:
- 1 value-size (30 oz) package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 package graham crackers (roughly 9 sheets, crushed, save some for topping)
Filling:
- 18 large marshmallows (6 cut in half, 12 left whole)
Topping:
- Chocolate chips, Hershey’s squares, or Ghirardelli chocolate squares
- Extra crushed graham crackers (for garnish, optional)
Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Cups
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin paper cups for easy removal.
- In a bowl, combine cookie dough with crushed graham crackers, mixing until evenly incorporated. (For extra crunch, add more crushed graham crackers!)
- Divide the mixture into 12 portions, roughly 2.7 oz each.
- Roll each portion into a 2-inch ball and place in the muffin tin.
- Using a shot glass wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent sticking, press down the center of each cookie ball to create a well for the filling.
Step 2: Bake the Cookie Cups
- Bake for 15–16 minutes or until golden brown but still soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press down the center of each cookie cup again using a shot glass wrapped in plastic wrap to reinforce the well for the marshmallow.
Step 3: Assemble the S’mores
- Place one whole marshmallow and one half marshmallow into the center of each cookie cup.
- Return to the oven and bake for 2–3 minutes until the marshmallows soften and puff up slightly. (Watch closely to prevent burning!)
- Remove from the oven and immediately press your choice of chocolate chips, Hershey’s squares, or Ghirardelli chocolate squares into the top of each marshmallow while still warm.
Step 4: Finish & Serve
- Let the cookie cups cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before removing unless muffin liners were used.
- If not using liners, gently loosen each cookie cup with a knife or small spatula before removing.
- Garnish with extra crushed graham crackers and/or chocolate shavings for added texture and presentation.
- Serve warm for the ultimate gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow-filled experience!
Recipe Notes & Tips
- For an extra gooey marshmallow center: Lightly toast the marshmallows using a kitchen torch after baking.
- For more crunch, add extra crushed graham crackers to the dough mixture or sprinkle generously on top!
- Use muffin paper cups for easier removal and less cleanup.
- Make ahead! Bake the cookie bases in advance, then warm them up before adding the marshmallow and chocolate toppings for a fresh-out-of-the-oven feel.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat for 5-10 seconds in the microwave to soften.
