Tessa's Recipe Rundown...
Taste: Butterscotch flavor + chocolate + marshmallows = heaven. Texture: The cookies are soft, moist, and chewy with extra gooeyness from the chopped chocolate and extra chewiness from the marshmallows. Ease: Easy, especially if you have an stand mixer. Appearance: The bits of marshmallow and chocolate bar topping these cookies is probably the best part. Pros: A ridiculously good twist on chocolate chip cookies. Plus they stay soft and yummy for days after being baked. Cons: None at all. Would I make this again? Yes!
If you know anything about me, then you know cookies will always be near and dear to my heart. I mean, I’ve written twobooks on the subject.
Because truly, sometimes there’s nothing better to satisfy a sweet craving than one or two (or a dozen) cookies and a tall glass of cold milk. Cookies and milk also happen to pair perfectly with your latest Netflix binge, or whatever trashy reality TV show is on at the moment. Guilty pleasure perfection!
Let me tell you, I was happily surprised by how fantastic these cookies are. I thought the best part would be the cuteness factor but it turns out they taste even better than they look. The marshmallows on top are fun but they add more serious chewy gooey goodness than I thought possible. You will love these cookies, your family will love them, your friends will love them. Unless of course you’re not into sweets or don’t like chocolate. In which case, we can’t be friends.
Kidding. Kind of.
What to do if your cookies end up like flat puddles?
That’s a complaint I hear from many of you, and it happens to the best of us. If you tend to have cookies that spread too flat while baking, I have a few tips for you. First of all, always bake off a test batch of just a few cookies to see how they turn out. Yes, it takes extra time. But it’s worth it if you can prevent your entire dough from getting ruined.
Second, if your first batch spreads too thin, it’s time to get COLD. Freezing cold. Pop your balls of cookie dough into the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes then place them directly into the oven. The cold helps prevent spreading. Too much spreading is often due to the dough being too warm or too ‘wet.’ You can also add a few extra tablespoons of flour to the dough to get thicker cookies.

These are PERFECT! I see so many s'more cookies on food blogs, and your's might just be my favorite so far. It looks like each bite has ample amounts of chocolate, which I LOVE, so we can be friends 😉
I made these last night and they were DELICIOUS! Definitely rich, but everyone at work loved them. My favorite part was the gooey marshmallows on top 🙂 Thanks for another great recipe.
I made these with my friend a few months ago and it was probably my favorite cookie ever! We had a great time making them… it was a surprise to take them out of the oven- ours turned out much larger/flatter than the one in the picture, but still delicious!
I enjoy your receipes. Retired but live alone.No fun to cook for one. I collect the receipes to have a lot to choose when having few friends over. I sometimes cook a casserole to take to church or a salad or dessert. I try to look for receipes that may be a little unusual but ones that most everyone will like.
Thank you for the ones I have chosen
hi LOVE your site Tessa have been following you for 2 or more years now and have always wanted to ask Graham Crackers are they a sweet biscuit (cookie) we have a biscuit called Nice and Marie not as sweet, we use in cheesecake bases or biscuit slices etc. I see Graham crackers are used in many different ways.Oh! i should say I’m from Australia.. Do you think they would work in the same way ? Thankyou for your wonderful recipes and all you amazing and very helpful tips……
Thanks, Lindi! My mom is from Australia, I just visited Melbourne in March. Graham crackers are slightly sweet and are usually made with honey and/or cinnamon, so the sweetness is more balanced. I haven’t had the biscuits you’re talking about but they should work! Or digestive biscuits can work too.
I have been making these cookies for the past year and I always get compliments on them!! These are so delicious and my GO TO when asked to bake cookies. Both kids and adults love these! Recently, a kid asked me to give his mom the recipe….:) I’ll continue to make these delicious cookies! Thanks so much for such an awesome recipe!
After ordering Tessa’s new cookbook I was in the mood to try a new cookie recipe while waiting for the highly anticipated arrival of my book. 🙂 This cookie was exactly what I was looking for – no chill dough (short on time today) and seemed perfect for an end-of-summer recipe. Followed the recipe to a T and let me just say, these are incredible!!! So beautiful you can’t believe they’d actually be so tasty. Perfectly crisp outside and gooey soft inside everyone loves. Highly highly recommend!
