No-Bake S’mores Cookies are a great way to enjoy s’mores without a campfire OR an oven! They’re a perfect snack or dessert, and SO easy to make!
The other day I had a conversation with my dad about how his backyard fire pit has gone unused all summer. There is a giant pile of logs and sticks right next to it, just waiting to be lit on fire. I asked him why he hadn’t had friends over for hot dogs and s’mores yet this summer, and he replied, half-jokingly “It’s way too hot for a fire!”
I can’t say I fully agree with him. I happen to think summertime bonfires are the best, regardless of the temperature, but especially when it’s a bit cooler in the evenings. However, I have to agree it has been outrageously hot so far this summer. And I’ll stay inside, thank you.
But no fires also means my s’more intake has been down, which is terrible news. I love s’mores so much I have been known to make them in the toaster oven in the wintertime. (You can thank me later.)
Enter these No-Bake S’mores Cookies. Any kind of cookie you don’t have to bake is a winner in my book. They’re quick, they’re delicious and they’ll keep that oven from overheating the whole house. These are so nice for rainy-day or scorcher-night s’mores cravings, or a quick treat to whip up for guests and kids. They look a little messy, but who’s ever eaten a s’more without a little mess? No one, that’s who. // susannah

These are brilliant, Susannah! It’s been super hot here this summer, and I have yet to have a s’more. Clearly, I’m about to change that with these cookies, and I could not be more excited!
