S’Mores Cookie Cups. A simple graham cracker cookie is stuffed with a melty hershey’s kiss, topped with a marshmallow, and gets toasted to golden perfection!
First of all, 😴 😴 😴 <– that is how I’m feeling right now, because the last few weeks have been B.U.S.Y. Liiiike really busy. The past few weeks have been full of so much recipe testing, video shooting, traveling, blogger retreats, meeting new people, and visiting old friends. All good things, of course, but now, I’m 😴 😴 😴 and ready to sit on the couch and catch up on Shark Tank.
That’s why, today, I’m treating myself to all the S’Mores Cookie Cups.
OMG. I have no words. I should probably just end it there, because these S’Mores Cookie Cups speak for themselves, buuuuuut I won’t. 😉
These cookie cups are a twist on a classic and are just overall ooey gooey delicious popable packages of joy.

These little guys are husband and neighbor approved and are so easy, so yummy, and so ridiculously dangerous.
Funnily enough, when I was growing up, I H.A.T.E.D. s’mores.
I know. Who am I?
I didn’t like the marshmallow, I just wanted the graham cracker and melty chocolate.
I’ve since grown up and learned to be obsessed with s’mores like normal people. 😉
A while back Trevor and I went through a huge s’mores phase. We made indoor s’mores after dinner almost every night for like a month.
They tasted great, but it was always a pain to try to melt the chocolate a bit in the microwave and roast the marshmallows under the broiler. I’d always end up with a super sticky baking sheet.
Too messy, but totally worth it, of course.
Today, however, I think I’ve fixed the problem, because I’ve turned a classic s’more into a cute, popable cookie.
Way less messy and hello it’s a cookie AND a s’more.
Yes. please.
There are four parts to today’s SMores Cookie Cups recipe.
#1 The graham cracker cookie.
#2 The Hershey’s Kiss center.
#3 The mallow.
#4 The Hershey’s chocolate bar garnish <— don’t skip it.
Let’s start with part one: the cookie. Super easy and delicious.
Today we’re using melted butter instead of room temperature butter.
Why?
Well, for one, I’m lazy and I hardly ever have the patience to let butter come to room temperature. It also makes for a nice, chewy cookie. 🙂
All you need to do is cream together the butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar.
Then you’ll add in an egg and vanilla.
After that, all that’s left is to stir in flour, graham cracker crumbs (I just gave some graham crackers a quick whirl in my food processor), baking soda, and salt!
Scoop and bake ‘em up in a mini muffin tin until they are golden perfection and that’s it for part one!
Part two: stick a hershey kiss in the center of the warm cookie.
Done.
Part three: Place a marshmallow on top of each cookie and broil until the marshmallow is gooey and golden.
Part four: Place a hershey’s chocolate piece on top of the marshmallow.
That’s it! I seriously can’t get over how easy these S’Mores Cookie Cups are to make.
They’re even easier to devour. Trevor, as always, is my favorite taste tester and between the two of us we went through these S’Mores Cookie Cups in just a few days.

The graham cracker cookie is tender and has a great graham cracker flavor. That paired with melty chocolate and a gooey marshmallow? OMG.
