S’mores cookie bars are everything you expect in a S’mores. You get the rich and creamy chocolate, the gooey marshmallow, and the graham cracker. But then, you take everything in a radical new direction. Because instead of a cracker packed with melted marshmallow and chocolate, you create, in essence, a cookie packed with a s’more.

Might sound a little wonky, but trading the oven for an open fire may be the best idea you’ve had in a while. And the s’more flavors exist there in the cookie too. Only, now you can easily make a whole tray of s’more cookie bars!

I have had a recipe for these S’Mores Cookies in my “I want to make recipe file” since 2011. Yep. You heard me right. Ten years. I figured it was high time that I got them made! Whether you call them a S’Mores Cookie or  S’Mores Cookie Bars it’s completely up to you. They are delicious no matter what you call them!

Quick And Easy S’more Cookie Bars

So, no more waiting for that one marshmallow to melt enough to add to one cracker. Let’s not even get into how messy that can turn out when everything slides off. S’more cookie bars are quick to make too. Plus, you can make enough to go around for everyone and still have some leftovers.

Wait until you try one. It is like the best parts of a cookie, a brownie, and a classic s’more cracker all rolled into one. 

Are S’mores Cookie Bars Still Really S’mores?

Since this contains all the basic ingredients of a s’more marshmallow and chocolate graham cracker sandwich, it is still legit. S’mores have been around for ages, and anyone that has ever had kids in cub scouts, boy scouts, or girl scouts knows there is nothing like a blazing fire to gather around for making s’mores.

It makes everyone forget all about those pesky mosquitoes on the campout. But with s’more chocolate chip cookie bars, you can still gather around a fire to eat them, but you definitely don’t have to deal with the bugs or sleeping on the ground either. 

S’mores Cookie Bars Travel Well

Where this s’mores cookie recipe really takes off is how easily you can pack it up and take it with you. To the game. To the park picnic. Or the potluck. They stack nicely, pack tightly, and travel lightly. You can even easily heat them with a grill if you are tailgating as long as you keep them over indirect heat.  

S’more cookie recipe with marshmallows and graham crackers can easily be cut to size for whatever occasions arise.

Variations On S’mores Cookie Bars

If you want to get fancy, then there are a few ways to trick these bars out. You can add shredded coconut or a few spoonfuls of crunchy peanut butter to the dough mix. Decorate them with M&Ms if you want to splash a little color in there. Add a single caramel candy underneath the cookie dough before you bake them to add a layer of chewy caramel to it.

    1. Because I’m lazy, why not buy chocolate chip cookie mix, make a Graham cracker/ butter crust, add marshmallows to cookie dough after mixing and spread on crust, continue with recipe.

  1. I am obsessed with marshmallows so I just had to make these s’mores cookies bars. There is something really special about that mix of chocolate, marshmallow and cookie. These are to die for!!!
