Introduction

S’mores Blossom Cookies combine the classic flavors of a campfire treat with a soft, chewy cookie base. These delightful sweets feature graham cracker crumbs, gooey marshmallows, and melting chocolate kisses, perfect for any occasion or family gathering.

The image shows round cookies with three clear layers. The bottom layer is a light brown, rough-textured cookie base. On top of that is a white, smooth ring of marshmallow that looks slightly toasted around the edges. The top layer is a shiny, dark brown chocolate kiss placed in the center of the marshmallow ring. The cookies are arranged close together on a sheet of off-white parchment paper on a white marbled surface. The focus is sharp on the front cookie, while the others blur gently in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)
20 large marshmallows, cut in half
24 Hershey Kisses

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs to coat.
Step 6: Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
Step 7: Remove the cookies from the oven. While still warm, gently press a half marshmallow sticky side down onto each cookie. Allow cookies to cool completely.
Step 8: Once cooled, preheat the broiler. Place the cookies back on the baking sheet and broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning. The marshmallows should toast lightly.
Step 9: Remove from the broiler and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie on top of the marshmallow. Let them set before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use regular-sized marshmallows instead of large, adjusting the cutting in half step accordingly.
For a peanut butter twist, try substituting half the butter with creamy peanut butter.
To make these gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Press the chocolate kiss firmly but gently to avoid breaking the cookie.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Because of the marshmallows and chocolate, they are best enjoyed fresh but can be softened slightly in a microwave for 5-10 seconds if needed.

How to Serve

The image shows round cookies with a rough light brown base that looks crumbly and slightly grainy. Each cookie has a layer of smooth white marshmallow cream on top, shaped as a circle with a slightly toasted edge, giving it a soft golden brown color. In the center of the marshmallow, there is a dark brown chocolate kiss with a glossy texture and a pointed top, standing upright. The cookies are arranged closely together on a piece of white parchment paper, all set against a white marbled surface in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of large marshmallows?

Yes, mini marshmallows can be used, but you may want to use more per cookie or press several together to mimic the effect of a large marshmallow half.

Why did my marshmallows melt too much under the broiler?

The broiler works quickly, so keep a close eye on the cookies and broil for the shortest time needed to lightly toast the marshmallows. Broiling for 30 seconds is usually enough.
