Ingredients
- Refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- Graham cracker crumbs, crushed
- Hershey bars
- Marshmallows
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Step 3: Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and press down the center of each cookie cup with a shot glass or a spoon to create a hollow.

Tips & Variations
- Use mini marshmallows instead of cutting regular marshmallows for easier layering.
- Try different chocolate varieties like milk, dark, or white chocolate to change the flavor profile.
- For a gooier center, add a small dollop of chocolate spread before pressing the chocolate bar on top.
Storage
Store the S’mores Cookie Cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To enjoy warm, microwave for 10–15 seconds or briefly heat in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble the cookie cups and keep them refrigerated before baking, but for the best texture, bake and add the marshmallow and chocolate just before serving.
What if I don’t have a muffin tin?
You can try using a mini tart pan or a baking dish and cut the cookie into squares, but a muffin tin works best to create the cup shape.

Ingredients
Cookie Cups
- Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough – 1 package (16 oz)
Toppings
- Graham Cracker Crumbs, crushed – 1/2 cup
- Hershey Bars – 2 bars, broken into squares
- Marshmallows – 10 large, cut in halves
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
- Prepare muffin tin: Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then press the chocolate chip cookie dough firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a base.
- Bake cookie base: Bake the cookie dough cups for 8 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and gently press down the center of each cookie cup using a shot glass or spoon to create a small well.
- Add graham cracker and marshmallow topping: Scoop crushed graham cracker crumbs into the indentation of each cookie cup, then place one half of a marshmallow on top of the crumbs.
- Finish baking and add chocolate: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the marshmallows to soften. Remove from oven and immediately press a square of Hershey chocolate bar into each cookie cup so it melts slightly from the residual heat.
Notes
- Use refrigerated cookie dough for convenience, or homemade dough if preferred.
- Cut marshmallows in half to better fit the cookie cups and ensure even melting.
- Pressing down the center before adding toppings helps hold the fillings in place.
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture and taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
