The Cookie That Turns Into a Campfire Moment
These cookies start with a rich, classic chocolate chip base that bakes up soft in the center and lightly golden around the edges. A mix of semi-sweet and bitter chocolate chips gives the dough depth, while chopped walnuts add crunch if you want a little contrast.
Here’s how they come together:

Wondering how in the world to get the BEST bake every time? We’ve laid it all out for you.
- Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy
- Mix in the egg and vanilla
- Add the dry ingredients just until combined
- Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts
- Chill the dough so the cookies hold their shape
- Scoop and bake until lightly golden
- Cool before assembling the s’mores
Once baked, the cookies become the base for the fun part. Marshmallows get toasted until golden and gooey, then sandwiched between two cookies with a square of chocolate tucked inside. The heat from the marshmallow softens everything just enough to mimic that just-made s’mores texture.
These are best assembled right before serving so the marshmallows stay warm and stretchy. They’re nostalgic and perfect for evenings when you want dessert to feel like a childhood memory.
