Turn S'mores Into Gooey, Golden Cookies With This Easy TikTok Recipe

If you've ever had s'mores-flavored cookies before, you know the s'mores taste isn't always spot-on. Most recipes call for Golden Grahams cereal in place of graham crackers, and oftentimes the mini marshmallows are so well-incorporated into the cookie dough that they don't really get gooey or toasty on top. These s'mores cookies from TikTok, on the other hand, have the same familiar campfire taste as actual s'mores.

As a viral video posted by @gracefull_eatstv30 showcases, the key is to assemble them exactly like s'mores, but swap the top graham cracker for a scoop of cookie dough. In the oven, everything melds together into a perfect cookie. Somehow the graham crackers don't burn in the process, and even the marshmallow manages to roast to a lightly crisp golden brown.

Technically, you can make these s'mores cookies with store-bought cookie dough, but if you have the time, you'll definitely want to make it from scratch. Store-bought cookie dough tends to spread a lot, and the outcome of this recipe depends on the marshmallow slowly melting through the layer of cookie dough so it gets perfectly toasted by the time the rest of the cookie finishes baking. If you plan to use store-bought cookie dough, just make sure you freeze it beforehand, or you could easily end up with a giant puddle of s'mores instead of a batch of cookies, as some TikTokers have warned. Of course, they'll still taste delicious, but for best results, make sure to follow the step-by-step instructions ahead.

Here's how to make TikTok's viral s'mores cookies.
