S’mores Stuffed Cookies

Smores stuffed cookies bake graham crackers, gooey marshmallow, and chocolate chunks inside soft chocolate chip cookie dough for the campfire dessert in cookie form. ♡

These viral smores stuffed cookies bring the campfire treat into a single decadent cookie. Soft brown butter chocolate chip cookie dough wraps around graham crackers, marshmallow fluff, and Hershey chocolate chunks, then bakes until the marshmallow melts into a gooey center that strings out with every pull apart shot.

Ingredients

S’mores Stuffed Cookies

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups all purpose flour

How to Make S’mores Stuffed Cookies

1. Brown. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes until amber and nutty. Cool 15 minutes.
2. Mix. Whisk cooled brown butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk smooth.
3. Combine. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until just combined.
4. Stuff. Scoop 1/4 cup dough, flatten in your hand. Place 1 tbsp marshmallow fluff, a graham cracker piece, and a chocolate chunk in the center. Top with another 1/4 cup dough and pinch seams closed completely.
5. Chill. Place stuffed cookies on a parchment lined sheet pan and chill 30 minutes.
6. Bake. Preheat oven to 375F. Bake chilled cookies 14 to 16 minutes until edges are set and tops golden.
7. Serve. Cool 5 minutes on the pan and serve warm so the marshmallow centers are still gooey and stretchy.

Why This Recipe Works

Smores cookies hit the TikTok feed hard in 2023 thanks to the marshmallow pull apart shot that racks up millions of views per video. The hashtag passed 400 million views as bakers competed to make the most extreme marshmallow stretch in their stuffed cookie reveals. The format took the campfire treat and made it a year round craving.

Using marshmallow fluff instead of whole marshmallows is the rule that gives the gooey pull apart center. Whole marshmallows shrink and harden in the oven once they release their moisture, while marshmallow fluff stays liquid and gooey because it contains corn syrup that prevents crystallization. The fluff stays melty even when the cookie cools.

Sealing the dough completely around the filling is the trick that prevents the marshmallow from leaking out. Marshmallow expands aggressively in heat and pushes through any crack in the dough seal, so wrapping each cookie in 6 ounces of dough and pinching the seam shut keeps the filling locked inside until the moment of bite.

Tips

• Brown the butter for a deeper flavor that mimics campfire roasted marshmallows.
• Use marshmallow fluff, not whole marshmallows. Whole marshmallows shrink and harden in the oven.
• Seal the dough seam fully closed by pinching with wet fingers.
• Use Hershey milk chocolate squares or chunks for the most authentic smores flavor.
• Eat warm for the full marshmallow stretch shot. Cooled cookies still taste great but the pull apart fades.
• Common mistake: do not skip chilling the assembled cookies. Warm dough leaks marshmallow during baking.

Variations

• Use Reese’s cups instead of milk chocolate for a peanut butter smore.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky salt on top after baking to balance the sweetness.
• Swap graham crackers for Biscoff cookies for a caramelized smore twist.
• Use dark chocolate chunks for a less sweet version.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the dough for a churro smores flavor.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate after baking for a styled finish.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using whole marshmallows. Use marshmallow fluff. Whole marshmallows shrink and harden into hot rocks in the oven.
• Not sealing the dough. Pinch the seam fully closed with wet fingers. Marshmallow fluff escapes any gap during baking.
• Skipping chill. Chill assembled cookies 30 minutes before baking. Warm dough leaks filling all over the pan.
• Eating cold. Eat warm or reheat 30 seconds in the microwave. The marshmallow center hardens once cooled.
