FAQs

How do I keep the marshmallows from melting too much?

Use mini marshmallows and fold them in gently at the end. Some melting is expected, but chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help them hold their shape better.

Can I use large marshmallows instead?

Large marshmallows tend to melt excessively and spread too much. Mini marshmallows or cutting large ones into smaller pieces works best.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, scoop the dough into balls and freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.

Do I need to chill the dough?

It’s not required, but chilling helps the cookies hold their shape better and enhances flavor.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?

Absolutely. Milk chocolate will give a sweeter, more classic s’mores taste.

How do I make the cookies chewier?

Use more brown sugar than white sugar and avoid overbaking. Slightly underbaking the cookies also helps retain chewiness.

What can I use instead of graham crackers?

Digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers can be good substitutes.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough and refrigerate it for up to 3 days before baking.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Too-warm dough, not enough flour, or overmixing can cause excess spreading. Chilling the dough can help.

Are these cookies safe for kids to make?

With adult supervision, kids can definitely help with mixing and scooping the dough.
