S’mores Skillet Cookie: The Ultimate Campfire-Inspired Dessert Delight

S’mores Skillet Cookie

Introduction

A S’mores Skillet Cookie is the ultimate dessert mashup, capturing the gooey, chocolatey magic of campfire s’mores mixed into a soft, chewy skillet cookie. With its irresistible golden-brown edges, melting chocolate, and toasted marshmallows, this treat turns any weeknight or gathering into a celebration—no campfire needed.

Perfect for feeding a crowd or keeping all to yourself, the S’mores Skillet Cookie is as easy as it is showstopping, requiring just one pan and a few pantry staples for a dramatic, sharable finish.

Why the S’mores Skillet Cookie Outshines Classic S’mores

Unlike traditional s’mores that can get messy and uneven, this skillet version delivers perfectly gooey bites every time, plus a delightfully chewy cookie base. Baking in a skillet ensures that the marshmallows and chocolate melt into each other for the ideal texture and flavor blend, all with minimal effort and little cleanup.

The Key to a Gooey, Golden Skillet Cookie

The secret weapon here is a heavy-duty, pre-seasoned Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet, Black. Cast iron maintains even heat, so your cookie bakes perfectly with crisp edges and a soft center and can go from oven to table for a rustic, impressive presentation.

To avoid sticking and make cleanup a breeze, line your skillet with a piece of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet. This quick trick means you can serve the cookie straight from the pan—just slice and scoop.

Building Your S’mores Skillet Cookie

Begin by mixing a classic chocolate chip cookie dough base, then fold in plenty of chocolate chunks, crushed graham crackers, and mini marshmallows for that authentic s’mores flavor. Once the dough is pressed into your lined skillet, scatter more chocolate and marshmallows over the top—the marshmallows toast beautifully under the broiler for that coveted golden finish.

For precise measurements and super-simple ingredient prep, use an Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display, Black and Stainless Steel. You’ll get consistent results every time.

Serving Suggestions That Wow

Let your S’mores Skillet Cookie cool slightly, then slice big wedges and serve right from the pan. For a restaurant-worthy finish, top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—let it melt into those warm, gooey morsels.

Set your hot skillet on a trivet and protect your hands with a pair of KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set, Milkshake, 2 Count when transferring from oven to table. For parties or kids’ sleepovers, provide small dessert bowls and extra marshmallows for guests to customize their servings.
