Today we are sharin super fun white and dark chocolate s’mores cookies! S’mores are really a necessity in the summer.
Childhood summer nights, camping in the backyard or on the trampoline, always needed s’mores to make it a perfect night. Sometimes, we would have a little campfire down in my parents pasture so we could roast marshmallows, but if not, we would pop them in the microwave until the were a huge melted mess. But they were amazing!
I enjoy being a non-traditionalist when it comes to flavor mixing, so I love the flavor of s’mores in just about every form. Last year, I redid a Starbucks S’mores frap into a healthier version, and it was so good! I made that for my friends at the end of last summer, and they were like YES! This is the perfect summery taste.
This crispy white & dark chocolate s’mores cookie I started making last year when I was selling a ton of cookies to people. I wanted to come up with a cookie that summarized summer and knew this would be a great combination!
You might remember me making these on instagram stories instagram stories. I had so many people say they wanted the recipe details ASAP!
Now, this isn’t necessarily one of my healthier remake recipes, but sometimes you just need a good old traditional butter based cookie. These are perfect for parties, summer cookouts, or even just a fun weekend in.
You can also double this batch exactly and it will turn out just as good, so you can make it for a crowd.
All my gluten-free and dairy-free people, stay tuned at the end of this recipe and I will give you some chemist tips on turning this recipe into either type 🙂
Alright, here is this summer recipe full of nostalgic summertime flavors:
Crispy White & Dark Chocolate S’mores Cookies
- 1 1/8 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/8 cup brown sugar
- 3/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallow bits
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a mixer (or a bowl), add in the softened butter (make sure to read my chemist tips on cookie baking below), brown sugar and white sugar, mix until creamy.
- Next, add in the vanilla extract and the egg.
- Mix until just combined.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Make sure to not overmix!
- Now, add graham cracker crumbs, Make sure they are crushed pretty finely. You can leave a few bigger chunks, but most of it will need to be fine.
- Once that is combined, add in the dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and marshmallow bits.
- Once it is incorporated, add 1 tbsp drops onto a good cookie sheet (see notes below for my favorite). Make smaller rounds if you want really crispy cookies 🙂
- Bake about 9-10 minutes depending on your oven. The edges will be crispy and golden brown, then middle will be a tiny bit soft.
- Cool completely on a cookie sheet before removing.
This is great with homemade extract. If you haven't made your own, pop over to this post and try it out. Great to have on hand!
When it comes to getting those cookies to bake perfectly, there are definitely some steps to take to help that along. Stop by my chemist secrets to the perfect cookie and try them out for this recipe! Cookie baking is chemistry at it’s finest, so these scientific tips are easy to follow and work great!
Gluten-Free or Dairy-Free Tips
If you are a gluten-free person, you can definitely substitute AP gluten-free flour in this. Be sure to read my conversion chart on my gluten-free cookie tips to make sure you get these to have a good texture.
Now, for dairy-free people, you can also substitute vegan butter for this, although the texture will be different. Make sure the vegan butter is FIRM and cold when you use it. I have also experimented with coconut oil in cookies and it is also an alternative. This recipe for coconut oil cookies will show you how to sub that in for butter.
Many readers have asked what type of pans and cookie scoop I use for cookies. I have all the details on this post for you. The air bake pans I mention are the only cookie pans I use now because they really bake so evenly. If you use these, add about 1 minute onto the bake time!
When I made this recipe for people last summer, I experimented with regular marshmallows instead of the baking bits kind. I cut them into fairly small pieces and added to the batter. The result was good and they had a nice gooey texture. It was messy and the marshmallows can stick and caramelize to the baking sheet, so I prefer not to use them, but if that is all you have, you can definitely add them in. Just make sure the marshmallows aren’t on the bottom 🙂
The day after Memorial Day always feels like the summer has finally begun.
And I am excited!
What are some of your favorite summer flavors you look forward to every season?

Oh wow this looks soo good!
It is really a great summer recipe 🙂 So good!
Um, okay… these look super delicious, especially when I’m sitting in bed at 5:25am, and my stomach is empty… so very dangerous… I’ve not eaten many s’mores … gasp! Maybe something needs to change… ??? Have a great day! It’s almost June!
They are really good! S’mores are totally one of my favorite summer flavors…something about it is just like summertime!! I can’t believe it’s almost JUNE!! Have a great day!
I’ve always been a big fan of white chocolate yet dark chocolate is often too bitter for me but these cookies sound amazing and I’m sure the sweetness of the other ingredients evens the taste out. They look yummy!
I like to use the dairy free dark chocolate baking chips, they are really yummy and sweet, so they really work well with this. You could totally change out for semi sweet or milk chocolate too 🙂 Either way, they are good!! Thanks girl!
Yum, I need these in my life!
They are so good, and so easy!!!
I never thought to make these!! They look yummy!!
Thanks so much! They are definitely a favorite around here 🙂
This what my dreams look like! HAha I can almost smell the warm cookies! Great recipe

Hi Alexis these look amazing and are perfect to share on the Oh my Heartsie Girls WW this week, thank you, Pinned!!
Have a great day!
Thanks Karren!!!
So, YUM! And to this–“S’mores are really a necessity in the summer”–I could not agree more. Just remember: if you only have one, it’s not a s’more. It’s only a some. Don’t settle for some. 😉 Cannot wait to make these cookies. In the meantime, I”m headed to that frap knock-off of yours! Glad I found you at Party At My Place today!
Ummm yes!! So true, you have to have some more 🙂 I love that frap too, so yummy and better for you than the usual 🙂
The marshmellows bits – are they a pre-packaged item? I don’t recall ever seeing them. Or do you take the minis and cut them up? I love this recipe and would be a smash for our family 4th of July party.
I usually buy them in the baking section at my grocery store. You can definitely use the regular, but they do tend to stick to the pan. I talked a little bit about it in the chemist tip section, but if you can’t find the bits, it will definitely work 🙂
Hi Alexis, These cookies look and sound divine! I like how you include instructions for those who need gluten-free and/or dairy-free ingredients. Well done! Blessings, Janet
