What’s Inside an Inside Out S’More Cookie?

The ingredients in this Inside Out S'more Cookies recipe each play a key role in creating the ultimate combination of flavors and textures. Let’s break down the most important ones:

Betty Crocker™ Soft Baked Chocolate Crinkle Cookie Mix is the base of the recipe. It’s what gives these cookies their rich, chocolatey flavor and a soft, chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the s’mores-inspired filling.

Graham cracker crumbs (3/4 cup in the dough, and 1/4 cup for coating) bring that signature s'mores flavor. Finely ground, they add a slight crunch and a hint of sweetness that balances the richness of the chocolate.

Unsalted butter softens the dough and adds richness, giving the cookies that irresistible tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Eggs are essential for binding the ingredients together and helping the cookies rise as they bake, giving them a soft, fluffy interior.

Water may seem simple, but it brings moisture to the dough, ensuring a smooth consistency that’s easy to roll.

Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Sprinkles and Cupcake Gems add a fun, festive look, but they also provide an extra layer of crunch and sweetness on the outside of each cookie.

Marshmallows are the gooey heart of this recipe. Pressed into the dough and baked until golden brown, they mimic the toasty, melty goodness of a campfire s’more.

Together, these ingredients create a perfect blend of chewy, crunchy, sweet, and gooey—all the classic elements of a s’more packed into a cookie!

How to Make Inside Out S’more Cookies

This super fun cookie recipe is incredibly easy to make. The full detailed recipe directions are below, but here’s the rundown of how to make a cookie your family will love:

Mix

In a large mixing bowl, combine cookie mix with ¾ cup of graham cracker crumbs, softened butter, eggs, and a bit of water. Beat the ingredients together until an evenly mixed dough forms.

Roll

Once your dough is ready, roll it into 1-inch balls. Each ball should use about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie.

Top

In a separate medium bowl, mix the remaining ¼ cup of graham cracker crumbs with colorful sprinkles. Roll each dough ball in the sprinkle mixture until they’re fully coated. Then, place the cookie balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten them slightly. Next, top each cookie with half of a marshmallow, placing it cut-side down and pressing it into the dough.

Bake

Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the marshmallows turn a beautiful golden brown. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack—or enjoy them warm for that gooey, melty goodness!

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Add a signature look to these cookies by mixing and matching your own sprinkles, or customize by using sprinkles that fit the season or occasion. Red and green sprinkles are perfect for Christmas, while pastel colors add a festive touch for Easter. You can also use themed sprinkles for birthdays, Halloween, or other celebrations. It’s an easy way to make these cookies even more fun and festive!
  • tip 2
    If you want to prepare the cookie dough ahead of time, you can cover and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. If the dough becomes too firm, just let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking. This will make the dough easier to handle and shape so you achieve a perfect bake!
  • tip 3
    For a summer barbecue twist, skip the sprinkles and simply roll the cookie dough in graham cracker crumbs before baking. This gives them a more rustic, s’mores-like vibe, perfect for outdoor gatherings. It’s also a great way to enjoy these treats beyond the holiday season!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Use Graham Cracker Crumbs in S’More Cookies?

The graham cracker crumbs add a bit of that classic s’mores flavor to every bite, but they aren’t just for taste—they also play a key role in ensuring the cookies come out looking perfect!

First, rolling the dough balls in graham cracker crumbs helps prevent them from sticking to your hands when you coat them in sprinkles. This also helps the sprinkles stay evenly distributed across each cookie.

Second, the crumbs help the cookie dough hold its shape while baking, supporting the marshmallow so it can achieve that perfectly golden brown, toasty top. Without the crumbs, the dough might spread too much, and the marshmallow wouldn't sit as neatly or toast as evenly.

How to Store Inside Out S’More Cookies

You can store Inside Out S’More Cookies at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. Once the cookies have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container. Keeping them sealed will help maintain their soft, chewy texture and prevent the marshmallows from getting hard. To prevent the marshmallows from sticking to each other, layer the cookies with parchment or wax paper before sealing.

To keep your cookies for longer, you can store them in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. Place the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer the frozen cookies to an airtight freezer-safe container or a zip-top bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let the cookies thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or for that warm, gooey marshmallow effect pop them in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.

Variations of Inside Out S’More Cookies

There are plenty of fun variations you can try with Inside Out S'more Cookies! If you want to mix up the flavors, consider using a different cookie mix as the base. Using a Betty Crocker™ Peanut Butter Cookie Mix or a Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix would give the cookies a whole new flavor that still pairs well with the marshmallow and graham cracker elements.

For added texture, swap out the chocolate sprinkles for mini chocolate chips or crushed candy bars. This adds a different textural element and brings even more of that classic s’mores vibe to the cookies.

You can also experiment with the marshmallows—try using flavored marshmallows like chocolate or caramel for a unique combination. If you want a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate or even add a drizzle of melted chocolate on top. These can’t-miss cookies are super versatile, so don’t be afraid to experiment and have a little fun while you bake!
