    Easy S'mores Cookies

    Halloween is a great time to bring out the spooky creations and make something fun with the kids like these s’mores cookies. And what could be better than making everyone’s favorite treat in cookie form. 'Cause who doesn't love the excuse to eat s'mores in any way, shape, or form?! And no campfire needed!

    These cookies will be a big hit for Halloween or just for a fall after-school treat. The graham cracker cookies alone are so good that you could eat them as is. But add chocolate and marshmallows and it really puts these sandwich cookies over the top.

    Making cookies is so easy and fun that they are my all-time favorite way to celebrate the holidays. Think sweetheart cookies for Valentine’s Day, M&M Cookies for July 4th, White Chocolate Kiss Cookies for Christmas, and, of course, these yummy pumpkin-shaped s'mores sandwich cookies for Halloween. They’re quick, excluding the chill time, easy and great fun to make with the whole family.

    Why do they call it s'mores?

    S’mores is a sweet snack made with a chocolate bar and a marshmallow sandwiched between graham crackers. They first appeared in a 1920s cookbook where they were called graham cracker sandwiches. The name s’mores appears to be a contraction derived from the phrase “some more”. Obviously, once you have one you want some more!

    Why You'll Love These Halloween Cookies

    Tips for Making S'mores Stuffed Cookies

    Chill - Don't skip the step to chill the dough. It helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.

    Remove Quickly - Only let the cookies cool for a few minutes so they are easy to remove from the baking sheet.

    Sandwiching - Press the cookies together lightly after adding the marshmallow fluff so the cookies don't crack.

    Ingredients for Sandwich Cookies

    for graham cracker cookies

    S'mores cookies ingredients labeled.

    Graham Cracker Crumbs - you can purchase graham cracker crumbs or make your own. Just take graham crackers and pulse in a food chopper or place them in a gallon-sized ziplock bag and flatten with a rolling pin

    All-Purpose Flour - lends structure to the cookies

    Cornstarch - helps create a crumbly, tender texture similar to a graham cracker

    Sugar - sweetens the dough

    Butter - make sure the butter is at room temperature to help create a smooth dough

    Egg - acts as a binder

    Vanilla Extract - adds and enhances flavor

    Baking Powder - is the leavening agent

    Salt - enhances flavors

    for chocolate and fluff filling

    Chocolate coating and filling ingredients.

    Chocolate Chips - I used morsels but you can use a chopped chocolate bar as well

    Shortening - allows for a smoother texture for a more evenly coated surface

    Marshmallow Fluff - any brand will work

    How To Make S'mores Cookies

    Prep steps for s'mores stuffed cookies.
    1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    2. Place butter and sugar In a large mixing bowl.
    3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Note: Perfectly creamed mixture will be light yellow and glossy.
    4. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
    5. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture.
    6. Beat until dough comes together. DO NOT OVERMIX.
    Divide dough in half and wrap to chill.
    1. Divide dough into 2 portions and wrap in waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours.
    Roll out dough and use cookie cutter to cut pumpkin-shaped cookies.
    1. Remove one batch of dough at a time and roll out on a well-floured surface to ¼” thickness. I like to flour the roller or the top of the dough so it doesn’t tear the dough. Cut into shapes with a pumpkin cut-out.

    1. Take half of the pumpkin-shaped cookies and cut little triangle eyes and a spooky mouth. Leave the other half with no face. Place on prepared cookie sheets.

    1. Prepare the chocolate coating by placing chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in-between until completely melted.
    2. Dip the top of the cookies without cutouts into the chocolate.
    Cookies coated with chocolate.
    1. Place the chocolate-coated cookies on waxed paper or silicon mats, with chocolate side up, to set. (I also tried the chocolate on the bottom and that worked as well.)

    1. Spread the marshmallow fluff on the back side of the cookies with cutouts.

    FAQs

    How long will these s'mores cookies last?

    They disappear fast in my house but they will keep for about 4 days in an airtight container on the counter.

    Can I freeze these cookies?

    I don't recommend freezing the baked cookies as the graham cracker cookie will turn soggy.

    However, you can freeze the dough. Just wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
