When your family is craving s'mores but building a campfire is not on the schedule, these frosted cookies are such a fun solution. The graham-flavored cookies are easy to mix, and the two creamy frostings turn them into a treat that looks impressive without requiring complicated decorating skills.
These Decadent S'mores Cracker Cookies bring all the cozy flavor of a classic campfire treat into a rich, bakery-style cookie. Each bite combines warm graham cracker flavor, deep chocolate, and sweet marshmallow goodness.
The cookie base is soft in the center with lightly set edges, while cinnamon and crushed graham crackers add a comforting, gently spiced flavor. A smooth layer of chocolate fudge frosting and fluffy marshmallow buttercream makes every cookie extra special.
Make these cookies for summer gatherings, birthday parties, holiday trays, or a fun family weekend treat. They take a few steps, but each part is simple, and the finished cookies are well worth the little extra effort.

Chef's Note
Measure the flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling the top. Too much flour can make the cookies dry instead of soft and tender.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. Even slightly warm cookies can cause both frosting layers to soften and slide.
Whole milk or cream both work in the chocolate frosting. Cream creates a slightly richer result, while milk keeps the frosting a little lighter.
The cookie dough and both frostings can be prepared earlier in the day. Keep the dough covered and refrigerate it if holding it longer than the 10-minute rest, then allow it to soften enough to scoop.
Freeze the cookies in a single layer until firm, then place parchment paper between layers in an airtight container to protect the frosting.

Popular Asked Questions
Q:
Can these s'mores cookies be frozen after frosting?
A:
Yes. Freeze them uncovered until the frosting is firm, then transfer them to an airtight container with parchment between the layers. They will keep for up to 3 months.
Q:
How do I keep the marshmallow buttercream from sliding?
A:
Make sure the cookies and chocolate frosting are cool before adding the marshmallow layer. Pipe a small amount in the center and spread it slowly with a clean offset spatula.
Q:
Can I use chocolate chips instead of unsweetened baking chocolate?
A:
Unsweetened baking chocolate is recommended because the powdered sugar supplies the sweetness and gives the frosting its intended balance. Chocolate chips would make the frosting sweeter and may change its consistency.
Q:
Why do the cookie centers look underbaked?
A:
The centers are supposed to look slightly underdone when the cookies leave the oven. They continue setting as they rest on the hot baking sheet for 10 minutes, which helps them stay soft.
Q:
Can I make Decadent S'mores Cracker Cookies ahead of time?
A:
Yes. You can bake the cookies one day ahead and store them tightly covered at room temperature. Prepare and add the frostings before serving, or frost them ahead and store the finished cookies in a cool place.
