If you love classic s’mores but want them in an easy, bakery-style cookie, these S’mores Blossom Cookies are the perfect bake. They’re soft and chewy with a buttery graham flavor, topped with a melty chocolate “kiss” and finished with a toasted marshmallow center—just like a s’more in cookie form.
Unlike regular blossom cookies, this version adds that signature s’mores taste and texture, making them ideal for parties, holiday trays, bake sales, or anytime you want a fun dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
Makes about 20 cookies
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8–10 crackers)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Rolling & Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling, optional)
- 20 chocolate kisses or chocolate squares (Hershey’s works great)
- 20 large marshmallows (or 40 mini marshmallows)
- Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for extra chocolate pockets)
Preparation Time
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Chill time: 20 minutes (optional but recommended)
- Bake time: 9–11 minutes
- Total time: About 45 minutes
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap chocolate kisses and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
(Optional: fold in mini chocolate chips.)
Step 3: Chill (Optional)
Chill dough for 20 minutes for thicker cookies that hold their shape.
Step 4: Shape and Bake
Scoop dough into 1-tablespoon balls. Roll in sugar if desired and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 9–10 minutes, until edges look set but centers are still soft.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate
As soon as cookies come out of the oven, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie (it will melt slightly). Let cookies cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6: Add Marshmallow and Toast
Cut large marshmallows in half (or use minis). Place marshmallow on top of each chocolate center.
Return cookies to the oven for 1–2 minutes until marshmallows puff.
For a toasted look, switch to broil for 10–20 seconds (watch closely), or use a kitchen torch.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let cookies cool for 10 minutes before moving. Enjoy warm for maximum gooey goodness—or let them fully set for a chewy texture.

Tips for Perfect Blossom Cookies
- Don’t overbake—pull cookies when centers still look soft.
- Unwrap chocolates before baking so you can top cookies quickly.
- Chill the dough if your kitchen is warm (prevents spreading).
- Toast marshmallows carefully—broil can burn fast.
- For clean shaping, use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.

- Peanut Butter S’mores: Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter to the dough.
- Double Chocolate: Replace 2 tablespoons flour with cocoa powder and add chocolate chips.
- Mini Version: Make smaller dough balls and use mini kisses + mini marshmallows.
- Salted S’mores: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top after toasting.
- Holiday Style: Use different flavored chocolate kisses (if available) for variety.
