Toasted marshmallow ice cream is sandwiched between these S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Chocolate dipped s’mores chocolate chip cookies are topped with crushed graham crackers and perfect with homemade marshmallow ice cream.
These S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches combine two classic summer dessert recipe in one.
S’mores meet chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches and create an amazing decadent dessert!
During one summer when I worked at a camp, I consumed more cookies and ice cream than I care to admit.
Between the packaged ice cream cookie sandwiches, the fresh baked cookies and the fabulous mini cookie sundaes available (there were also giant, monstrous cookie sundaes available, but I avoided those because, you know, #health 😉 ), dessert pretty much consumed my diet.
I mean, it was a really, really hot summer.
(That’s totally adequate justification, right?)
I was super nervous to work at that camp.
As much as I can easily adapt to change and can be extremely flexible, it can take a lot for me to do something out of my comfort zone.
And working at a camp for an entire summer with people I don’t know?
Yeah. Nowhere near any realm of my comfort zone.
However, it ended up being one of the best summers with some great memories, and I met some of my closest friends there.
Because I spent nearly every afternoon eating some sort of ice cream and cookie combo, these S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches will forever remind me of that summer. ❤️
S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches tips and tricks:
- I used Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream, but you can definitely substitute that out for vanilla, chocolate, or any other favorite ice cream you might fancy.
- This chocolate chip cookie recipe is similar to a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe; however, marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs have been added to the batter. When dipped in melted milk chocolate, these cookies have all the classic flavors of s’mores!
- I also suggest slightly under baking these s’mores chocolate chip cookies. Because the cookie ice cream sandwiches need to be kept frozen, the softer the cookies, the easier the sandwiches are to eat.
How to assemble these s’mores chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches:
- The key to getting a perfectly circular ice cream center is to find something circular that’s roughly the same size as your baked cookies.
- For me, that was a one-cup or half-cup measuring cup. Place some plastic wrap inside of your measuring cup (as pictured below), and press the ice cream into the cup. It only needs to be filled halfway. Pull it out of the measuring cup, wrap the rest of the plastic wrap around it, and place it in the freezer. Repeat until all of your ice cream centers are finished.
- Once the ice cream has had a chance to firm back up again, unwrap them, and place them onto a cookie. Press another cookie on top, and you are good to eat! Or, wrap each cookie sandwich in plastic wrap and store in the freezer until you are ready to use.
Ohh yeah. These are something to celebrate.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1/4 tsp espresso powder, optional
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 36 mini marshmallows (plus a more for decorating)
- 1 cup milk chocolate, melted
- 4 graham crackers, crushed
- 3 cups Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream (linked below; alternatively, you can use any ice cream you like)
- In a large bowl, cream butter until it is light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add in brown sugar and white sugar and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Next, add in the egg, beating well. Add in vanilla extract and salt; mix.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, corn starch, and espresso powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Add in chocolate chips. Stir.
- Chill dough for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
- Take about 2 Tbsp of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Stick 2-3 marshmallows in the center, and fold the cookie dough around the marshmallows and form it into a ball. Make sure none of the marshmallows can be seen in the dough. Repeat until all dough is gone (dough should make 12 large cookies).
- Place dough onto cookie sheets, about 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes, or until cookies are barely turning golden brown (in order for the cookies to remain soft after being in the freezer, they need to be slightly underdone).
- If desired, add a couple more marshmallows on top of each cookie as they cool.
- Allow to cool completely.
- While the cookies are chilling, form the ice cream into discs. Take a 1 cup measuring cup, or something of similar size (like pictured above), and place plastic wrap inside of it, making sure some is hanging over the sides. Scoop 1/2 cup of ice cream into the plastic wrap, and press it into the cup, making a flat, even layer. Take the ice cream out, wrapping the plastic wrap securely around it, and place in the freezer. Repeat for the meaning ice cream (in total, you should have six ice cream centers).
- Once the cookies have cooled, dip each cookie into the melted milk chocolate (which can be done in the microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double broiler) about halfway. Lay each cookie down on parchment paper and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs. Allow chocolate to cool, about 30-60 minutes at room temperature, or 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Once the chocolate has cooled, place six cookies face down onto a cookie sheet. Unwrap each ice cream center and place one on each cookie. Take the remaining six cookies and place them on top.
- Enjoy immediately or wrap in plastic and store in the freezer until ready to eat them!

You got our backs big time! These ice cream sandwiches are incredible – and great tips with the cutting the ice cream to fit the cookies. I knew I needed smores in my life, but I’ll skip the fire and smoke (no gracias when it’s 90 degrees) and enjoy one of these beats instead!
Michelle says
Thanks, Mary Frances! 🙂

Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
These ice cream sandwiches are so gorgeous, Michelle! What a creative treat! I never used to be a big fan of smores because of the marshmallows (I know, that’s the best part!), but as I’ve gotten older, I love the non-traditional smores type treats. Love this!
Michelle says
Thanks, Gayle! 🙂

I don’t usually post comments until after I’ve tried something no matter how awesome it looks (and yours does!) but your idea for molding the ice cream gave me another idea which I’ll try: mold it into something round and tall, then when it’s firm, slice the ice cream into several rounds to sandwich between the cookies. I can’t wait to try it!
Michelle says
That’s brilliant! I seriously will be trying that next time! I hope you enjoy these! 🙂

I just tried your recipe and it was easy however, my cookies came out hard… I think I overcooked the edges. I might have also added a bit to much baking soda. I’ll try it again and I’ll be sure to watch them better. But these tasted really good.
Yolanda Bullmore says
I cannot wait to try making these! I love the mugs you had in one of your pictures “Love is all you need,” and “How sweet it is to be loved by you.” Did those come in a set? If so, would you mind sharing where you got them from? Great idea for an upcoming bridal shower. Thank you.
Eden Passante says
This has all the most amazing things in it! Looks so good!

I haven’t had these yet but the summer are here now so you will def. love these. I’ve had something similar and they were awesome. All of these recipes are great! So far every recipe I’ve gotten from there are amazing. Just a suggestion to try them off. We once got a copy of taste of home and tried there meatloaf which was AMAZING btw and it was great. I’m a very picky person when it comes to meat loaf and now it’s a recipe that people are asking me to give them the recipe. I think that’s a compliment for sure!
