How to make Smores Cookie in a Skillet

Now that you’ve got all the ingredients gathered, let’s walk through how to make the graham cracker cookie crust, then turn that into a smores skillet cookie.

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a separate bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until smooth.

Step 3: Make the Dough

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft cookie dough forms.

Step 4: Press Into the Skillet

Evenly press the cookie dough into a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs over the top.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 325ºF for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step 6: Add the Chocolate

Sprinkle milk chocolate chips on the hot cookie and let them melt. Spread evenly, leaving a border around the edge.

Step 7: Top with Marshmallow Fluff

Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff over the chocolate. Return to the warm oven for 1 minute to soften, then spread gently.

Step 8: Toast the Marshmallow

Turn on the broiler and toast the top for 30–60 seconds. Keep a close eye on it—marshmallow burns fast!

How to Serve and Storage

Serve this warm Smores cookie recipe right out of the skillet! The cookie will be soft and gooey, the chocolate melty and the marshmallow cooked just right.

The cookie base will be more soft and crumbly while it is warm, but will set up a little more as it cools.

This cookie can be stored in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 3 days, it won’t be as good as the first day, but all the delicious smores flavors will be there.

Want to make it even better? Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of fluff?

Yes! Use mini marshmallows and scatter them over the chocolate. Broil until toasted.

What kind of chocolate is best?

I like to use milk chocolate for that classic s’mores flavor, but dark chocolate or even chocolate bars work great too!

Can I prep this ahead of time?

You can make the cookie dough a day ahead and refrigerate it. Press into the skillet just before baking.

  • For the graham cracker crumbs, I prefer to make the crumbs added to the cookie finer and the 1/4 cup placed on top a little more coarse.

  • to make ahead, bake the graham cracker cookie and add the chocolate and marshmallow before serving, just use the oven to heat and melt the chocolate and marshmallow fluff
