When I think of S’mores, I’m immediately transported to warm summer nights around the campfire with family, sticky fingers and all. But as much as I love that fireside nostalgia, sometimes I want those familiar gooey, chocolatey flavors without striking a match. That’s where this S’mores Edible Cookie Dough recipe comes in. It’s a playful, nostalgic twist that captures everything you love about a classic S’more—Hershey’s chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers—transformed into a no-bake, scoopable treat. It’s also a fun recipe to whip up while baking with kids or when you’re looking for something quick and sweet, just like these Lucky Charms Cookies, which are always a hit in our house.

This recipe isn’t just another dessert—it’s a sweet escape. You get the full, nostalgic experience of S’mores without the mess or the smoke.

Think of this as your guilt-free version of that forbidden indulgence. Plus, it comes together in minutes, which means you can satisfy your cravings fast, much like our beloved Salted Caramel Crumble Bars that are perfect for a quick treat.

Here’s a list of everything you’ll need to recreate this gooey magic at home. All ingredients are pantry-friendly and easy to find:

1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

🔁 Creative Swaps & Flavorful Variations
If you’re the adventurous type, there’s room to play with this dough. Swap the chocolate chips for chunks of a classic Hershey bar to amp up that familiar S’mores flavor. You could also stir in a spoonful of cookie butter for a nutty undertone that plays beautifully with marshmallow crème. Want to take it up a notch? Toast the mini marshmallows under your broiler for 1–2 minutes before mixing them in. That slight char gives you the smoky campfire flavor we all love, like the warm notes found in our cozy Pumpkin Waffles recipe.
🛡️ Why Heat-Treating Flour Matters
Heat-treating flour isn’t optional when it comes to edible dough. Raw flour can contain bacteria, making it unsafe for consumption. But don’t worry—it’s super easy to fix! You can microwave the flour in short bursts until it reaches a safe 165°F, or better yet, bake it at 350°F for about 10 minutes. I prefer the oven method for its consistency and even heating. Make sure the flour cools before adding it to your mixture. This small step makes a big difference, just like when we prepare our Flourless Avocado Brownies, which are not only healthy but delightfully fudgy.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step: How to Make S’mores Cookie Dough
Step 1: Cream the Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat together your softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until the texture becomes fluffy and pale. This step is key to getting that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth feel that makes each spoonful unforgettable.
Step 2: Add the Flour & Salt
Sift in your heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt, folding it into the butter mixture. This is when your dough starts to take form. Don’t skip the salt—it heightens the chocolate and marshmallow flavors.
Step 3: Adjust Texture with Milk
Gradually add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a scoopable consistency. You want it soft enough to stir, but firm enough to hold shape. Like the dough used in our Strawberry Cake Mix Sandwich Cookies, this one’s totally spoon-worthy.
Step 4: Fold in the Magic
Now for the fun part—gently fold in your mini marshmallows, marshmallow crème, crushed graham crackers, and chocolate. Each fold brings a new burst of S’mores joy. If you sneak a bite at this point, no judgment here!
