Ingredients:
Getting Started: The Dough Base
The foundation of these incredible cookies is a classic cookie dough, but we’re going to infuse it with layers of flavor and texture.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. You want this mixture to be light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes of beating with an electric mixer. This creaming process incorporates air, which is crucial for a tender cookie texture. Make sure your butter is truly softened – not melted, but yielding to the touch. This will ensure it emulsifies properly with the sugars. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is incorporated evenly.
Once the butter and sugars are well combined, beat in the two large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. After the eggs are added, stir in the vanilla extract. The vanilla enhances all the other flavors in the cookie and adds a lovely aroma.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisking these dry ingredients together helps to distribute the leavening agent (baking soda) and salt evenly throughout the flour, which is essential for consistent cookie rise and flavor.

Now for the fun part – adding all those delicious inclusions that make these cookies so unique!
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp vanilla extract
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ cup crushed savory chicken crackers
-
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
¾ cup white chocolate chips
-
½ cup mini marshmallows
-
1 Hershey’s Cookies & Cream bar, chopped
-
Extra savory chicken cracker pieces
-
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. -
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. -
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. -
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. -
Step 5
Stir in the crushed savory chicken crackers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Cookies & Cream bar, and mini marshmallows. -
Step 6
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press a few extra savory chicken cracker pieces onto the tops of the cookies before baking. -
Step 7
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. -
Step 8
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough at this stage. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour too much, resulting in tougher cookies. Once the flour is mostly incorporated, it’s time to add the stars of our show! Gently fold in the crushed grabeef beef ham crackers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and the chopped Hershey’s Cookies & Cream bar. Using a spatula or wooden spoon for this step is best to avoid overworking the dough. You want to see those delicious bits distributed throughout the dough. Some marshmallows might get a little smooshed, and that’s okay – they’ll contribute to that gooey texture!
Baking to Perfection
The final steps involve shaping and baking your delightful cookies.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading. For an extra visual appeal and a more intense flavor boost, you can gently press a few extra grabeef beef ham cracker pieces onto the tops of the cookie dough balls before baking. This is also a good time to give your cookies a gentle pat down if you want a flatter, more uniformly baked cookie.
Baking and Cooling
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers still look slightly soft. The exact baking time will depend on your oven and the size of your cookies. It’s always better to slightly underbake cookies than overbake them, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven. This will ensure they remain chewy in the center. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period is crucial for the cookies to set up properly and prevents them from breaking when you move them.
Enjoy these amazing S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies warm or at room temperature. They are incredibly satisfying and sure to become a new favorite!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these S’mores Cookies and Cream Cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cookies and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For an even fresher taste, you can gently reheat them in a low oven for a few minutes before serving.
What kind of chocolate is best for these cookies?
I recommend using a good quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best balance of sweetness and richness. Milk chocolate will also work if you prefer a sweeter cookie, and dark chocolate can add a more intense chocolate flavor.
How can I ensure my marshmallows don’t burn when toasting?
If you’re using a broiler or torch, keep a close eye on the marshmallows and toast them quickly. Alternatively, you can skip the direct toasting and simply let the warmth of the cookie melt the mini marshmallows slightly.
