These sweet Dirty S’mores Cookies are simple, chewy and coated in graham cracker crumbs to make them a little “dirty”!
Did you know that August 10th is National S’mores Day? It’s true. It is.
Did you also know that August 10th is my birthday. Coincidence? I think not.
Isn’t it crazy these days how every single day is National “Something” Day. Did you know July 3rd is National Compliment Your Mirror Day. No really. Really. Google it.
Also, might I just say that August is National Eat Dessert First month. Which I have to say is CRAZY, because the subtitle of my book is Always Eat Dessert First. It’s like the universe KNOWS ME!
So since I was born on National S’mores Day and also born in National Eat Dessert First month I feel like my life finally makes sense. Thank you to the folks who invent these holidays. I like it.
Except for the person who invented March 3rd’s holiday. Creepy man.
But back to these cookies. These are a spin on my Dirty Chocolate Chip Cookies that I love so much. When I made them I got a message from a reader that I should switch the recipe a little and make a s’mores version. Well, you guys are smart indeed.
The cookie dough itself is very simple. I used the Jet Puffed Mallow Bits in these. I am mildly obsessed with the little dehydrated mallows. I find them at Target and Walmart pretty easily.
Let the dough chill for at least an hour so. It’s easier to handle when it’s chilled.
Meanwhile pulverize some graham crackers, you’ll need about a cup of fine crumbs…
Then scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough of roll it into a ball.
Coat the cookie dough ball in graham cracker crumbs and place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.
When they’re baked they will look gorgeous and crackly…
We all loved these cookies so so much! Have a great National S’mores day!!

There is definitely no coincidence that it is your birthday on National Smores Day! It was meant to be! Have a wonderfully happy birthday and I’m sure it will include some cake and maybe cookies too. I tried the bread on the weekend and my household loves bread to start with. It was superb! Maybe you can celebrate with some of that too! Have a great day!
Oh my goodness, these are BRILLIANT! I love that you roll them in graham cracker crumbs! Seriously, so genius. I am all over this!

Happy Birthday to you!!
with those graham cracker smores cookies, can you use regular mini marshmallows?
Mini marshmallows don’t bake the same as the Mallow bits, they melt into the cookie. So I would recommend if you can’t find them to leave them out entirely. What you could do is the last 2-3 minutes of baking press mini marshmallows on the top of the cookie continue baking. Or you can cut some mini marshmallows in half and press them gently on top after the cookie is done and lightly toast them with a torch or under the broiler for a few seconds.
I had only a few of the Jet Puffed Mallow bits. I cut some mini-marshmallows in half and mixed them into the batter, along with some chopped up Hershey Bars, and large semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also added some crumbled up graham crackers to the batter. When the cookies came out of the oven, while still hot, I pressed a small square of Hershey Bar into the top of the cookies and let them melt in. They were fabulous and beautiful! Took them to work, and they immediately got scarfed up. Love this recipe. I also made the dirty CCC recipe last week. Also wonderful, but I liked these even better.
Awesome!! Love your adaptation!
