- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Heat-treating the flour makes the dough safe to eat without baking.

- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

The graham crackers bring classic s’mores flavor while the marshmallows add soft chewy texture.
Optional Toppings

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the flour evenly onto a baking sheet.
Bake for about 5 minutes or until the flour reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow it to cool completely before using.
This step is important because raw flour should not be eaten untreated.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
Beat until smooth and fluffy.
This creates the soft, creamy base for the cookie dough.
The mixture should look light and slightly airy.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
Stir until fully combined.
The dough should smell rich, sweet, and buttery at this stage.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the cooled heat-treated flour and salt.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels too dry, add an extra teaspoon of milk.
If it feels sticky, add a small spoonful of flour.
The texture should be soft but easy to roll.
Step 5: Fold in the S’mores Ingredients
Gently stir in:
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Mini chocolate chips
- Mini marshmallows
- Chopped chocolate
The dough becomes packed with delicious texture at this stage.
Try not to overmix so the marshmallows stay fluffy.
Step 6: Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes.
Chilling helps the dough firm up and makes rolling easier.
It also allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
Step 7: Roll Into Bites
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop small portions of dough.
Roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Place the bites onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
If the dough sticks to your hands, lightly grease your palms with butter or cooking spray.
Step 8: Add Optional Decorations
Drizzle melted chocolate over the bites.
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or mini marshmallows on top.
You can even torch the marshmallows lightly for an authentic toasted s’mores flavor if desired.
Step 9: Chill Again
Place the finished bites into the refrigerator for another 10–15 minutes.
This helps them hold their shape better.
Serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.

Additional Tips
1. Heat-Treat the Flour Properly
Don’t skip this step. It’s important for food safety.
2. Use Mini Marshmallows
Large marshmallows make rolling difficult and create uneven texture.
3. Chill Before Rolling
Cold dough is much easier to handle.
4. Don’t Overmix
Mix gently after adding the marshmallows to keep them fluffy.
5. Add Extra Chocolate
For ultra-rich bites, stir in extra chopped chocolate chunks.
6. Use Good Vanilla
Pure vanilla extract gives the dough better flavor.
7. Store Chilled
These bites hold their shape best when refrigerated.
