Ah, marshmallows. There’s nothing better than sitting with your family around a smoky campfire roasting marshmallows and enjoying the ultimate delicacy of summer. But what if we told you that you don’t have to bother making a fire or patting mosquitoes to taste the same chocolate marshmallow delicious?
This summer, TikTokers began combining chocolate chip cookies and marshmallows to create the ultimate summer treat: air fryer marshmallow cookies. What’s even better? You only need four ingredients. Once we realized this, we knew we had to try it as soon as possible.
What Are the Viral 4-Ingredient S’mores Cookies?
There are a lot of creators making this cookie on TikTok, but we’re one of the creators whose Deana Myers’ video got 1 million views. These cookies are so simple that you can make them after watching the TikTok video. In her video, Myers assembles a hollowed-out s’more in an air fryer basket lined with aluminum foil and then spreads the chocolate chip cookie dough on top of each s’more before baking.
By the time they came out of the air fryer, the cookies were already yellow, slimy, and she ate them very embarrassingly with a fork. We can’t say we agree with this way of eating, but we agree that they look absolutely delicious.
What Are the Ingredients of Viral 4 Ingredient S’mores Cookies?
The short list of ingredients is as follows: marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate bars, and chocolate chip cookie dough. That’s it! I used Hershey’s Hershey chocolate and my favorite store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, sweet Roland chocolate chunks, but, if you want, you can swap in a fancy chocolate bar and make homemade chocolate chip cookie dough.
How to Make Air Fryer S’mores Cookies?
The method is as simple as the ingredients. Start by laying paper liners or aluminum foil inside the air fryer. Place two graham crackers on the lining and place a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow on top.
Flatten a ball of cookie dough in your hand, then mold it on a marshmallow and chocolate cube, and place the cookie ball back on the graham crackers. (Some TikTokers wrap the whole thing in cookie dough, but you do it.) Air fry at 330° for about 7 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and the marshmallows are slightly browned.
My Real Take on Viral 4 Ingredient S’mores Cookies
These cookies are all that a campfire cookie should be, and there are some…… There are crumbly, slightly softened graham cookie bases, melted milk chocolate, and slimy toasted marshmallow pillows. The cookie dough on top covers it on top. It’s like eating the best hot chocolate cookie with a little sticky marshmallow and chocolate surprise. It’s the best dessert you’ll ever have this summer, but you need hands to eat it.
Tips for Making Morel Cookies in an Air Fryer
I made three rounds of these cookies, each better than the last. Here’s what I learned.
• Know your air fryer. Many TikTok videos air fry cookies at 350°, but this doesn’t work in my air fryer. Every machine is different, so you may need to adjust the temperature to achieve the right results.
• Use fine chocolate. The first time I used a thicker Hershey bar, I found that the standard thinner Hershey bar melted better.
• Wrap the marshmallows and chocolate in the dough. I tried putting cookie dough on top, but I found that wrapping marshmallows and chocolate in cookie dough and then placing cookie balls on graham cookies worked better.
• Give it a break. Although the air fryer can’t help but make you want to eat cookies as soon as it rings, it’s 100% worth waiting before taking a bite. In terms of temperature, I think they are hotter than campfires, probably because cookie dough has been added. If you let it cool for a few minutes, it will still melt and sticky, but not too hot.
• Make it your own. Indulge in customization: delicious marshmallows, different kinds of cookie dough, different chocolate bar flavors.
