Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure to the cookies; measure properly for the best texture.
  • 1 cup graham crackers Adds a sweet and crunchy base; substitute with any crushed biscuit for a unique twist.
  • 1 cup cornstarch Ensures a soft texture; no need for a substitute if you’re in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and spice to the graham flavor; feel free to omit if that’s not your style.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy; check for freshness for the best results.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy; check for freshness for the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavor; essential for balancing the sweetness in these cookies.
For the Frosting
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture to the frosting; can be substituted with margarine or a dairy-free alternative.
  • 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate Provides rich flavor for the chocolate frosting; semi-sweet chocolate works too, just adjust sugar accordingly.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Sweetens and thickens the frosting; ensure no lumps for a creamy finish.
  • 1 cup marshmallow creme Creates the marshmallow frosting; homemade meringue can be used if preferred.
For the Toppings

How to Make Frosted S'mores Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, crushed graham crackers, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until fully incorporated, and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. Shape the dough into small balls—about 1 tablespoon each. Place them evenly on the prepared sheets, and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  7. Melt the unsweetened baking chocolate with the butter until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar until combined.
  8. Cream the butter with marshmallow creme until fluffy for the marshmallow buttercream.
  9. Spread the chocolate frosting on each cookie, followed by a swirl of the marshmallow buttercream, and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers if desired.
