S’mores cookies are the perfect way to celebrate the height of summer while indoors in an air-conditioned house.
Or, at a summer lake cottage, which is how this slightly messy but perfectly summer s’mores dessert came to be.
S’mores Cookies
Tuesday afternoon it was 95 degrees in the shade – not exactly campfire fire weather at the cottage but that never stops us from eating campfire food, especially S’mores.
We’ve made them in the microwave, under the broiler, and now with this great recipe from Cuisine at home magazine, we put some s’more cookies together on a cookie sheet.
Who knew s’mores weren’t just for campfires anymore?

I have to be honest. I am not a smores fan – never have been one. HOWEVER if I were to ever attempt a s’more again it would be this recipe. Beautifully choreographed along the way!

Thanks for the comment, and I would love a deal with any chocolate company!!
Marie Matter says
It’s been 100+ for a while in Dallas, so campfires are definitely out of the question, but I would love these indoor s’mores! Looks great!
Dan from Platter Talk says
Marie,
Thanks for the comments, these truly are wonderful, even from the oven! Have a great rest of the week!!
Shashi Charles says
Oh Wow – LOVE the addition of peanut butter to these smores cookies!
Thanks so very much for sharing 🙂
Dan from Platter Talk says
Shashi,
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. I give these s’more cookies two thumbs up!!
Angela Gilmore says
These are a great idea, and you really sound like you deserved it after the week you had! I wonder if you can make these with fluff instead of marshmallows, it’s pretty much the same concept right? Also those graham cracker cookies look good enough to eat on their own!
Dan from Platter Talk says
Angela,
I think everyone deserves one of these! Fluff should work fine, although because of its consistency and the hot cookies, I would probably portion it out a couple of minutes after the cookies come our of the oven. Thanks for stopping by and especially for taking the time to comment!!
