I have been on SUCH a s’more kick for absolutely no reason at all, and that’s perfectly okay with me. Since making a campfire s’mores isn’t an option every day, unfortunately, making these gooey s’mores cookies is going to have to be my next best option. And not to toot my own horn, but they’re GOOD.

These cookies are perfectly balanced between being sweet with a touch of salty. The marshmallows are so gooey add the perfect touch to these babies. Seriously, they’re a game changer.

Cookies are so much fun because you can make them any theme you want. You like a certain dessert? Make it into a cookie. Boom, a handheld version of any little dessert you can think of. And since a traditional s’more is not as easily obtained, a s’mores cookie is the perfect alternative.

This cookie dough does need to be chilled for about 30 minutes prior to baking, so I just pop the dough into the freezer while I preheat the oven and get the kitchen cleaned up.

Notes

The cookie dough can be put in the freezer for 30 minutes but no longer or the cookies will be too cold to bake immediately. In the refrigerator, they can rest as long as overnight. I recommend scooping out the cookies into balls before chilling them since it will be more difficult to scoop them out after the dough is chilled and working with it will make it softer, counteracting the chilling time. 
I scoop the dough with a tablespoon and it makes 18 cookies. 

Store these gooey s’mores cookies in a sealed container for up to a week, if they make it that long! You can also put a piece of bread in the container with them to help keep them fresh. The bread gets hard and the cookies stay soft. Don’t ask me how, it’s just magic I think. Or read about it here.
