Michigan Baked S'mores Cookie Cake

A toasted marshmallow pressed between two graham crackers and a square of half-melted milk chocolate…nope, there’s nothing quite like a campfire S’more. But in a pinch, this baked S’mores cookie will have you in melted marshmallow heaven without the smokey fire and sticky fingers.

If you’ve ever found yourself desperately trying to roast a marshmallow over the open flame of your stovetop (or even worse, a lit candle) then you know the struggle of an out-of-season S’mores craving. Luckily, there’s a simple and safe solution: a baked s’mores cookie cake! Stay cozy inside and kick off December with this simple recipe.

This cookie cake can be as easy or as complicated as you would like. We recommend going the easy route with a pre-made refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough as your base, though you can use your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe. From there, it’s just folding in your classic S’mores ingredients and pressing the dough into your oven-safe baking dish. 

That’s right, no gathering roasting sticks and not a single burnt marshmallow in sight!

Some things to remember when you’re perfecting your S’mores cookie cake—don’t overbake your cookie. We tend to fear under-baked baked goods (yet were we not the ones eating raw cookie dough before?) but the fact is, the cookie will retain heat and continue to bake even after the dish comes out of the oven. 

Bake your S’mores cookie cake until the edges are golden and then let it rest until the center is near room temperature. Or if you just can’t wait (we won’t judge) grab a big spoon and dig in while it’s hot and deliciously gooey.
