These Peanut Butter Smores Cookies combine creamy peanut butter, gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers for a nostalgic, campfire-inspired treat you can bake indoors. With crispy edges and a soft, chewy center, they’re easy to make and guaranteed to disappear fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat just until incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low or by hand until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces with a spatula.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Optionally, press extra marshmallows and chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking. Press extra marshmallows and chocolate chips on top for a bakery-style look. If cookies spread too much, chill the dough. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Use gluten-free flour and graham crackers for a gluten-free version. For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter.
