While testing browned butter cookie recipes and spending evenings around a campfire with my 3- and 4-year-old, we discovered how much we love these S’mores cookie sandwiches. Using two cookies instead of fragile graham crackers makes them easier for little hands and less messy for a mom who wants to sit as much as possible this summer.
Below I include our two favorite cookie choices in the recipe card, and I list additional cookie ideas further down. These sandwiches are flexible—use whatever sturdy cookie you prefer and adjust fillings to taste.

Equipment needed for these S’more Cookie Sandwiches:

Fun cookie variations to try:
Choose sturdy cookies for the best sandwich experience. My current favorite is Browned Butter Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies because they bring S’mores flavors without extra spreads. Other great options include:

Cookie prep-ahead tip:
Cookie dough freezes well. Roll dough into balls, freeze on a tray for about an hour, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Bake from frozen when you’re ready. Day-old cookies work, too—warm them briefly under the broiler or in the oven to soften before adding a marshmallow.

Step 3: Add chocolate, peanut butter, or other toppings to the hot marshmallows if desired, then top with a second cookie to form a sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Campfire method: Roast marshmallows to taste, remove from the stick, place onto a prepared cookie, and sandwich with a second cookie or leave open-faced. Enjoy!
Personalizing your S’mores sandwich cookie:
If you want to reduce sweetness, serve open-faced with just the marshmallow. For kids, two smaller cookies make the sandwich easier to hold. Try spreads like Nutella, Biscoff, almond butter, or plain peanut butter to balance the marshmallow’s sweetness. Experiment with different candies and cookie bases to find your favorite combo.
