These S’mores Spritz Sandwich Cookies are definitely something to write home about! They’re everyone’s favorite summer treat wrapped up in a delicious buttery spritz sandwich cookie!
Lately, I’ve been all about the beautiful summer fruits. But today I’m going to share a spin on everyone’s summer favorite…the s’more!
I mean come on, summer wouldn’t be summer without s’mores around the campfire right?! Well, it’s been roasting hot in my neck of the woods, so I skipped the campfire and made some crazy delicious S’more Spritz Sandwich Cookies in my air-conditioned kitchen for you guys!
And I even went above and beyond, because I didn’t use a cookie press. I used my sturdy piping bag and my Ateco #826 1/2 inch Open Star Pastry Tip to hand pipe all the cookies. I have to say I was quite proud of myself, because to be totally honest, I usually opt for the easiest way to do things. Not that making them without the cookie press was the hardest thing ever, just that it took a bit more time. I know they turn out perfectly with the cookie press, but I wanted the pretty shell look for the cookies, because, you know, it’s The Beach House Kitchen.
You can certainly make these cookies using a cookie press, but if you are going to hand pipe them into a shape of your choice just make sure you use a sturdy pastry bag. The dough is somewhat stiff, so the sturdier the bag the better. Flimsy disposable plastic ones will not work. Take it from me.
Now that we’ve got all the details out of the way, on to how delicious these little sammies are! They’re buttery, graham crackery cookies sandwiched together with a marshmallow buttercream that’ll knock your socks off! Then they’re dipped in some melted semisweet chocolate and then mermaid-dusted with a smidge of extra graham cracker crumbs! Yes, they’re as good as they sound. Totally worth writing home about, and perfect for your next summer campout! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Cookies:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs plus a bit extra for garnish
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Marshmallow Buttercream:
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 2 Cups confectioner's sugar sifted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
- Chocolate Dip:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp. shortening
Instructions
- Cookies: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl when needed. Turn the mixer to low, and add the entire flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fit your heavy duty pastry bag with open star pastry tip (or use a cookie press) and add your dough. Pipe cookies on prepared sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Cool cookies completely, then spread some marshmallow buttercream on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich with another. Dip the tip of each sandwich cookie in melted chocolate and place on a piece of parchment to set. Dust with extra graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
- Marshmallow Buttercream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the confectioner's sugar until fully incorporated. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the Marshmallow Fluff until well combined.
- Chocolate Dip: Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave safe bowl at 50 percent power in 20 second intervals until smooth. Dip the tip of each sandwich cookie (as pictured) in the melted chocolate. Place on piece of parchment to set. Dust with additional graham cracker crumbs, if desired.

Perfection at it’s peak ! Pinning for colder days !
Mary Ann
Thanks so much! You’re going to love these! Perfect for cooler days too!
Chris Scheuer
These are fun, beautiful and sounds delicious! I never thought of making spritz cookies without a press. Sometimes dragging out equipment is more than I want to do but a pastry bag is easy! I’m afraid I would eat my weight in these cookies. Spritz cookies tend to make me loose all sense of reason! Pinning and sharing!
Mary Ann
Me too Chris! They’re quite addictive! Make them when the grandkids come to visit!
Jennifer @ Seasons and Suppers
Perfect Summer cookies! So pretty and S’mores! I love piping busting out my piping bag, so I can’t wait to try these :)
Mary Ann
Thanks Jennifer! I really had a fun time piping these!
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop
There’s nothing better than S’mores during the summer. These cookies would give you all that wonderful S’more tastes when you just can’t get to a campfire. I love the shell look of these cookies – very cute!
Mary Ann
I agree Kathy! These were so fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
I LOVE that phrase -‘ buttery spritz’! And I love the idea of eating cookies that taste like s’mores right in your air conditioned kitchen ;) Way to go with hand piping these babies out; I’m not quite sure if mine would be as pretty as yours! You know one of my fave things about sandwich cookies? There’s two cookies for one ;) Hehehe! Pinned! Have a wonderful week! XO
Mary Ann
I was going for the rustic shell look Dawn! No two shells look exactly alike, so I didn’t mind that these weren’t perfect! I totally agree for the two cookies in one deal Dawn!
Gerlinde | Sunnycovechef
What a gorgeous looking cookie and I am sure they are delicious. Spritz cookies are some of my favorite cookies and giving them a S’mores flavor made them even more desirable for me.
Mary Ann
I knew I’d have to share something s’mores before summer’s end Gerlinde!
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings
You are such a great baker. I love all of your cookie creations! Summer is not summer without smores and I love this fun twist!
Mary Ann
Thanks Karen, but honestly I’m forever learning! And enjoying every moment of the learning process! Happy Monday!
CakePants
These are so pretty – I love the look of the piped cookies! I could definitely go for a couple of these right now. Truth be told, I love s’mores ingredients but actual s’mores aren’t my favorite, since toasted marshmallows make my throat scratchy. Not a problem with these – yum!
Mary Ann
Hope you give these a try then Mara! I think you’ll love them!
Rose
These look fabulous!
Mary Ann
Thanks Rose! They were so fun to make!
Caroline
Mary Ann! I am so in love with these cookies! They look straight out of a bakery box! We’ve got a cookie press that I don’t use much…these are making me want to break it out and have some fun. Absolutely gorgeous images, as always! xo
Mary Ann
Awwww! Thanks so much Caroline! I had so much fun with these. Have a wonderful week!
Alida | Simply Delicious
They look SO good Mary Ann! Love!
Mary Ann
Thanks so much Alida! Hope you have a great week!
annie@ciaochowbambina
I have yet to make s’mores this summer and now you’ve REALLY inspired me! These are so much fun, Mary Ann! And so pretty to boot! Pinned!!
Mary Ann
I hope you try them Annie! They’re so fun for summer!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
These are GORGEOUS, Mary Ann!!! I’m so impressed you hand piped the cookies! Umm, if I attempted that they would be uuuuugly… and even that is putting it lightly. ;) Aside from being stunning, I am totally digging this cookie spin on the S’more! GENIUS! Pinning! Cheers, lovely!
Mary Ann
Thanks so much Chey! I was pretty pleased with myself, since I’m usually all in for taking the easy way out of things! Have an awesome week! XO
Natasha @ Salt & Lavender
OMG these are too tempting!! I’d eat a whole batch if I could…
Mary Ann
It’s all about the balance Natasha! I’ll swap you some for that yummy black bean salad of yours!
Natasha @ Salt & Lavender
You’re on!
Matt Robinson
I love your spin on these Mary Ann!
Mary Ann
Bet the boys would love these Matt!

Mary Ann
Thanks Tieghan!
Geraldine | Green Valley Kitchen
Mary Ann, you make the best desserts! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and I hardly ever bake but these look so delicious. Your previous post had me pining for no bake cheese cake and now this. Love the “shell” shape!
Mary Ann
Thanks so much Geraldine. I have so much fun baking. Making these without the cookie press was actually way easier than I thought. I really had lots of fun putting these together. And of course, eating them too!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
Oh my! These are summer dessert perfection! We roasted some s’mores in our firepit this weekend but I kinda wish I had these instead, love that buttery cookie!
Mary Ann
Summer wouldn’t be summer without s’mores, right?!
Traci | Vanilla And Bean
These are absolutely perfection, Mary Ann! Your piping is so consistent – not an easy thing to achieve. Sandwich cookies are my all time favorite type of cookie…. and yes to the smores. I can see these on a good old road trip! Yes please!
Mary Ann
Thanks Traci! I was dying to try my hand at piping cookies again, since my first attempt was an epic fail! Got lazy, used flimsy plastic bag, got frustrated, big mess, not a great experience. This time I used a sturdy piping bag, went nice and slow at first with my piping and things went swimmingly!
Emily
Ah, you piped those?! (big applause over here) very impressed with your skills.:) What a fun summer cookie. My kids are always asking for smores everything and they would go crazy over these. Lovely pics too!
Mary Ann
I kind of surprised myself too Emily! I’ve made them with a cookie press, but wanted to up my game this time! As long as you use a sturdy piping bag these are quite easy! Always appreciate your comments and compliments! XO
Nicole Branan
Gorgeous, what an awesome idea (again!)!! <3
Mary Ann
Thanks so much Nicole! I’m always trying new spins for s’more during the summer!
Marissa
If I’m being honest, S’mores are one of my favorite things about summer! And these not only look so party-perfect elegant, but sound absolutely delicious.
Mary Ann
Yay! Then definitely give these a try Marissa! You’ll love the graham crackery taste of the spritz cookie and that marshmallow buttercream?? I could have eaten it right out of the bowl with a spoon!
Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom
LOVE that you made SMORES spritz sandwich cookies! Genius!
Mary Ann
I’ve been so excited to share these Alice! S’mores are a favorite at our house!
Katherine | Love In My Oven
You are SO talented!! I can’t believe you piped all of these by hand!! Summer is not summer without a smores – and I would prefer to make mine in an air conditioned house too!!
Mary Ann
Lol! Thanks Katherine. These are way easier than they look!
Karly
Not want, NEED. These look absolutely positively incredible!!
Mary Ann
Then definitely give them a go Karly! You’ll love them!

When summer and laziness is at its peak, and everyone is looking for the easiest no bake recipes.. You amaze me with these delicious cookies!! They look soooo good :)
Mary Ann
Thanks so much Deepika! These are a summer favorite at our house!
Aimee
I have a serious obsession with s’more anything at the moment and am pretty sure the last 3 things I made were some variation of an s’more. Obviously, I should make these too and keep with my summer theme because they look too good to pass up!
Mary Ann
Keep the streak going Aimee!
Laura | Tutti Dolci
I love spritz cookies and these are such a fun take on s’mores. Love your photos and styling!
