Hey there, cookie lovers!
If you’re craving the ultimate dessert mash-up, these s’mores chocolate chip cookies are exactly what you need. They combine melty chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and a buttery graham-inspired flavor into one soft and chewy cookie. These s’mores chocolate chip cookies bring all the cozy campfire vibes straight into your kitchen, no fire required. Made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour and cashew butter, they’re a slightly better-for-you treat that still tastes indulgent, rich, and absolutely irresistible.
Method
Freeze those marshmallows
Start by placing your marshmallows into an airtight container like a ziplock bag or a Tupperware and pop them in the freezer. Freezing the marshmallows helps them hold their shape while baking, so you get that gooey center without them completely disappearing into the dough. Ideally, do this step about 30 minutes before you plan to bake so they’re nice and firm.
Mix the good stuff
While your marshmallows are chilling, it’s time to make the base of your cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cashew butter, egg, coconut oil (make sure it’s soft but not melted), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or hand mixer to blend everything together until smooth and creamy. This is the wet mixture that gives the cookies their rich, chewy texture and deep flavor.
Add the dry ingredients
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Sifting helps prevent any lumps and makes the dough lighter and easier to mix. Once your dry ingredients are well combined, gradually add them into the wet mixture. Stir slowly and gently until everything comes together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Fold in the fun
Now for the best part: mix-ins! Grab your dark chocolate chips (or chunks) and the frozen marshmallows from the freezer. Add them to the dough and use a spatula to carefully fold them in. Try not to overmix here; you want those marshmallows to stay whole and the chocolate evenly spread throughout the dough.
Shape your cookies
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop out dough balls about 1 inch in size and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Give each ball a little press with your fingers or the back of the scoop to flatten them just a bit. This helps them spread into perfect cookie shapes while baking.
Sprinkle some love
Before they go into the oven, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt. It might seem like a small step, but this little touch really brings out the flavors of the chocolate and balances the sweetness of the marshmallows.
Bake time
Place your cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them if you’re looking for lightly golden edges and set (but still soft) tops. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool. Once baked, let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set up without breaking apart.

Here’s what you’ll need:
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup cashew butter
1 egg
2 tbsp coconut oil (room temperature)
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
1½ cups almond flour
½ cup dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
½ cup marshmallows (freeze these first!)
Flaky sea salt for topping
Directions
- Freeze those marshmallows!
Pop them into a zip bag or Tupperware and freeze. This keeps them from melting too much in the oven. - Mix the good stuff.
In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, cashew butter, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until creamy. - Add the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, sift together almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Then slowly mix that into the wet mixture. - Fold in the fun.
Add the dark chocolate and those frozen marshmallows. Gently stir them in with a spatula. - Shape your cookies.
Use an ice cream scoop (or spoon) to scoop out 1-inch balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press them down just a little to flatten. - Sprinkle some love.
Add a pinch of flaky sea salt to the top of each cookie this brings out the flavor! - Bake time!
Pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the tops are just set.
Notes
- Don’t skip freezing the marshmallows! They’ll melt too fast and ooze out if not cold.
- Use room temp coconut oil not melted so the dough holds together better.
- Watch the bake time these cookies can overbake quickly, and we want gooey, not crunchy!
- Let them cool a few minutes on the tray before moving until they firm up as they cool.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are DELICIOUS right out of the oven warm and gooey! But if you want to level them up, try:
- Serving with a glass of cold almond milk
- Sandwiching ice cream between two cookies for a s’mores ice cream sandwich
- Crumbling one over a bowl of yogurt or oats (yes, dessert for breakfast!)
