How Long Can You Store S’mores Cookies?

Freshly baked S’mores can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.

Make sure to keep them at room temperature during these four days.

You can also put your S’mores cookies in the freezer, where they can be stored for up to three months.

But don’t kid yourself! Most likely, they will be eaten within a day or so. They are that delicious!

Can You Freeze S’mores Cookie Dough?

If you’ve made too much dough or want to bake your S’mores at a later point in time, you can freeze your cookie dough for up to three months.

Please make sure to store your dough in an air-tight container or, as I do, in a sealable freezer bag to avoid freezer burn, as that will compromise your dough’s flavor and texture!

Helpful Baking Tips for S’mores Cookies

Marshmallows

If you don’t have any mini marshmallows at home, you can use regular marshmallows and just cut them into little pieces. 

I prefer mini marshmallows, as they look nicer on top of the cookies, but that’s really just a detail.

Some people ask why I don’t top the cookies with marshmallows and chocolate pieces right from the start. 

The thing is, if you bake your cookies with the toppings from the beginning, they will most likely start to melt and spread all over the place.

Not only does this mess up your baking sheet, but it also makes the cookies look less tasteful. 

Adding the topping at the end cleverly avoids these issues and makes for fabulously looking S’mores!

Chocolate Chips

You can use either semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. Or why not both? 

It’s all up to your personal flavor preferences! Both alternatives can work well, so just experiment and see which of the two you like better. 

Sugar

I usually bake with brown sugar, but you can replace it with granulated sugar or other alternatives.

I find that brown sugar gives the cookies a nicer sweetness. But, once again, we all have different preferences when it comes to taste and flavor!

Chocolate

You’ll see Hershey’s bars used in many other recipes, and that’s totally fine.

I use Crispy Carry bars (among others) for their somewhat more extravagant flavor mixes.

Their caramel sea salt chocolate bars is to die for and, to me, the perfect pick for my S’mores cookies. It’s insane how good they are!

Biscuits

Many people use Graham crackers in their S’mores recipes, but I really prefer Digestive biscuits.

They both give a nicer texture to my mix and are naturally sweeter than Graham crackers.

This allows me to use less sugar in my recipe.
