Ingredients
Base Layer
- 8 sheets graham crackers (broken in half to make 16 halves)
- 8 bars Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, cut in half (1.55 oz each)
- 16 marshmallows, cut in halves
Cookie Dough
- 30 ounce roll refrigerated Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough (cut into 16 rounds, 1/2 inch thick each)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is ready for baking the S’mookies.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the S’mookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Slice Cookie Dough: Cut the refrigerated cookie dough roll into 16 rounds about 1/2 inch thick. These will serve as the top layer of your S’mookies.
- Prepare Marshmallows: Cut each marshmallow in half to create smaller pieces for better distribution and double marshmallow coverage.
- Arrange Graham Crackers: Place 6-8 graham cracker halves on the baking sheet, leaving 2-3 inches of space between each to allow for spreading while baking.
- Add Chocolate Bars: Lay one half of a Hershey’s milk chocolate bar on top of each graham cracker half, creating a chocolate layer.
- Add Marshmallows: Place two marshmallow halves, cut side down, over the chocolate on each graham cracker to add a gooey texture.
- Top with Cookie Dough: Place one cookie dough round over each assembled s’more base, effectively sealing the ingredients inside.
- Bake: Bake the S’mookies in the preheated oven for 16-19 minutes. For a softer texture, check at 16-17 minutes. For crisper edges, allow 18-19 minutes.
- Second Batch: While the first batch cools, repeat the assembly and baking process with the remaining ingredients. Enjoy some cookie dough while waiting!
Notes
- Ensure parchment paper is used for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Space the graham cracker halves well to avoid cookies merging during baking.
- Watch the baking time carefully depending on your preferred cookie texture—soft-baked vs. crispier.
- Cutting marshmallows in half helps them melt evenly and creates more gooey layers.
- These cookies are large and may need additional cooling time before handling.
