I love how this recipe takes the classic s’mores idea and turns it into an easy, oven-friendly treat with almost no prep. I get sweet, salty, gooey cookies using simple pantry staples, and they always disappear fast whenever I make them. 4 Ingredient Ritz S’mores Cookies

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this recipe because it only needs four ingredients and zero special equipment. I don’t have to wait for a campfire or deal with complicated steps, and I still get that melty marshmallow and chocolate combo I crave. I also enjoy the sweet-salty contrast from the Ritz crackers, which makes these cookies surprisingly addictive.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 16 crackers)
16 large marshmallows
16 squares milk chocolate (such as Hershey’s)
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. I arrange half of the Ritz crackers on the baking sheet, flat side up. I lightly brush each cracker with a bit of melted butter.

Next, I place one square of milk chocolate on each cracker, followed by one marshmallow. I top each stack with another Ritz cracker, gently pressing down so everything holds together.

I bake them for about 5 to 7 minutes, just until the marshmallows puff up and soften. I remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes so they can set before I move them.

Servings And Timing

I usually get about 8 cookies from this recipe.
Preparation time takes me around 5 minutes, baking takes about 7 minutes, and total time is roughly 15 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

I sometimes switch the milk chocolate for dark chocolate when I want a richer flavor. If I feel like experimenting, I use peanut butter cups instead of chocolate squares. I also enjoy adding a sprinkle of flaky salt on top after baking for an extra flavor boost.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. If I want them warm again, I reheat them in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes. I avoid the microwave because it makes the marshmallows too sticky for my taste.

FAQs

Can I Use Mini Marshmallows Instead Of Large Ones?

I can use mini marshmallows, but I usually pile several together to match the size of one large marshmallow.

Do I Have To Use Ritz Crackers?

I prefer Ritz because of their buttery flavor, but I can substitute other buttery round crackers if needed.

Can I Make These In An Air Fryer?

I can make them in an air fryer by cooking at 350°F for about 3 to 4 minutes, keeping a close eye so they don’t burn.

Why Did My Cookies Fall Apart?

This usually happens when I don’t press the top cracker down gently before baking or when I move them too soon while they’re hot.

Can I Double The Recipe?

I often double or triple the recipe easily, as long as I bake them in batches and don’t overcrowd the pan.

Conclusion

I enjoy making these 4 Ingredient Ritz S’mores Cookies whenever I want a quick, comforting dessert with minimal effort. They give me all the flavors of classic s’mores in a simple, fun form that works perfectly for busy days or last-minute cravings.
