These cookies bring all the cozy, chocolatey goodness you love, topped with soft, sweet marshmallow in every bite. You get chewy graham, melty chocolate, and a marshmallow topping that feels like a sweet cloud.

Here’s how to bring the magic into your kitchen.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base:

• ¾ cup salted butter, softened
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract
• 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups crushed graham crackers (divided)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

For the Chocolate Layer:

• 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
• ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk

For the Marshmallow Frosting:

• ¼ cup salted butter, softened

How to Make Frosted S’mores Cookies

1. Mix the Dough

In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix again.

Now toss in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1½ cups of graham cracker crumbs. Mix just until the dough comes together.

2. Roll and Bake

Scoop dough into 3-tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each ball in the leftover graham cracker crumbs and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 11–13 minutes, or until the centers are set but still soft. Let them cool on the tray.

3. Add the Chocolate Layer

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.

Spread a layer of chocolate over each cooled cookie. Let the chocolate firm up before adding frosting.

4. Top with Marshmallow Frosting

In another bowl, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and marshmallow creme until smooth and fluffy.

Frost each cookie generously and sprinkle with a little extra graham cracker crumb or even a chocolate square on top if you’re feeling extra.

• They stay soft, chewy, and seriously hard to resist

PART 4: Girl Scouts S’mores Cookies – History and Controversy
It’s hard to talk about Frosted S’mores Cookies without giving a nod to the famous Girl Scouts version. If you’ve ever had those limited-edition S’mores cookies during cookie season, you know just how popular they’ve been. But if you’ve been trying to find them lately and striking out, you’re not alone—and there’s a story behind it.

The Launch of a Cookie Favorite
Girl Scouts first introduced their S’mores cookies in 2017 to celebrate 100 years of selling cookies. They were a big hit. Some versions had a chocolate-covered graham layer, while others were sandwich cookies with a creamy marshmallow filling. Either way, they brought that classic campfire flavor to a cookie box—and people loved them.

The flavor quickly became a seasonal favorite, often selling out fast. Fans waited all year for them to come back.
Why You Can’t Find Them Anymore
In recent years, Girl Scouts started phasing them out. Some bakers dropped them due to rising costs and production limits, and others simply rotated them out to make room for new flavors. Either way, many cookie fans were left wondering where their favorite went.

The good news? Frosted S’mores Cookies give you that same cozy, chocolate-marshmallow goodness-anytime you want it, no cookie sale needed.

PART 5: Variations and Creative Twists

One of the best things about Frosted S’mores Cookies is how easy they are to customize. Whether you’re avoiding certain ingredients or just want to try something new, there are plenty of fun ways to switch them up while keeping that gooey, graham-cracker charm.

Local Bakeries and Farmers Markets

Some independent bakeries, especially those that focus on gourmet or seasonal cookies, may offer frosted s’mores cookies as a limited-time treat. Farmers markets and pop-up dessert stands are also great spots to look for small-batch or homemade versions.

• Etsy shops offering handcrafted cookies
• Instagram bakers with pre-order menus
