It’s almost Fall (or soon will be. The temperatures are still hovering around 90 degrees at our house.) That means it’s time for one of my favorite Fall recipes-S’mores. What could be more fun than standing around a fire, too hot in the front and freezing in the back, while roasting marshmallows on a long pointy stick that will probably eventually burn someone? Seriously. You wouldn’t believe how many marshmallow related accidents I’ve seen. Ok, so I’m not a fan of making S’mores the traditional way, but I am a fan of eating them. Since I’ve been craving S’mores but wasn’t ready for a bonfire, I decided to create a new way to make them. I came up with these Chocolate Chip Smores Cookie Cups. They’re so simple to make since they use prepackaged ingredients. And who can’t use an easy recipe every now and then?

Chocolate Chip Smores Cookie Cups Recipe
Sometimes I really want dessert but I don’t feel like preparing an elaborate “from scratch” concoction. Maybe I’m busy, or tired, or honestly, just not in the mood to cook. That’s when I whip out recipes like this. With only five ingredients and minimal preparation time, I can have a dessert on the table in no time. Plus, as a bonus, this dessert is tasty enough that if you add a scoop of ice cream and drizzle some chocolate syrup over it, you can claim it is a S’mores Lava cake.
You’ll start off with a few basic ingredients; a package of chocolate chip cookie dough from the dairy section of your favorite grocery store, some cream cheese, graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows. That’s it unless you get wild and crazy and top it with ice cream and syrup.
There’s only a few steps to making the cookies too. Just mix your cream cheese, cookie dough, and graham cracker crumbs together until blended. Spread a heaping tablespoon of this mixture into a cupcake pan and spread the mixture across the bottom and up the sides.
Top this with a piece of chocolate bar and a half of a marshmallow. Spread more cookie dough over the top and bake. Viola! Simple Chocolate Chip Smores Cookie Cups!
If you want to make this recipe Gluten-Free, just switch to Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Gluten-Free graham crackers. We like this kind: Kinnikinnick S’Moreable Graham Crackers
If you’re interested in baking often (or even if you’re not and just want to make life easier on yourself), I recommend a 12 Cup Silicone Muffin- Cupcake Baking Pan

That’s so lovely! Never made cookie cups before. Such a brilliant way to make cookies because you get to add some extra treat inside too. I bet the kids go crazy over it!
OMG! This makes me even more excited about the new oven we’re getting this week. Our oven just literally stopped working and we needed a new one, and this recipe is going to be on my list for new Fall desserts to try for sure! Yum! 🙂
My grandchildren would go gaga over these chocolate chip smores cookie cups! I have to make them this weekend when they come over to visit!
These cookie cups look divine! I love how you combined the goodness of chocolate chip cookies, and smores in one delicious dessert.
This looks so good. I would love to find the meaty marshmallow center.
Yes, Please! These S’mores cookie cups look divine! Perfect for someone with a big sweet tooth, like me!
These look so good. I just love s’mores and haven’t had them in ages. I can almost taste the chocolate and marshmallow.
My mouth is watering as I look at these pics over and over again. I have a major sweet tooth and this recipe has my name all over it.
I am drooling! I am wondering if there is anyway I could alter this recipe for Keto or Paleo because this looks so good!
That’s a triple batch at least for this house! My kids would scarf the first batch instantly and I’d be good for the last two!
Yummy! These look so good! I am trying to do better and eat healthy, but stuff like this makes me second guess everything!
Cookie cups! That is SO fun and unique! I’d never heard of them before this… but now I’m totally going to start making them!
I’ve been in love with cookie cups as of late. They’re so much better than regular cookies (and I’m sure worse for me too!).
I have to make these for the fam! We all love S’Mores, and I know these would go over big time. Om nom nom.
