These are not your usual s'mores. Each one hides a gooey graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow center under a warm chocolate chip cookie dome, then gets topped with a tiny marshmallow ghost peeking out from the middle.
For this Regular Girl version, a few thoughtful ingredient choices make the Halloween treat easier to fit into a Low-FODMAP-friendly, gluten-free, and lactose-free routine. Look for certified gluten-free cookie dough and graham-style crackers, dairy-free chocolate, and marshmallows without high-fructose corn syrup or polyol sweeteners.
The best part happens when you break one open. You get soft chocolate chip cookie, crisp graham cracker, melted chocolate, and stretchy marshmallow all in one bite, with a ghost on top to make movie night feel appropriately spooky.
Ingredients
Makes: 8 Spooky Ghost S'mores Cookies
For the S'mores Cookies
Materials Needed
- Rimmed baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cutting board, if portioning chocolate
- Small knife
- Oven mitts
- Cooling rack or serving plate
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1
Prepare the baking sheet
Preheat the oven according to the temperature listed on your chocolate chip cookie dough package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
Build the s'mores stacks
Place eight gluten-free graham-style cracker squares on the prepared baking sheet. Top each cracker with one piece of chocolate and one marshmallow.
-
3
Shape the cookie dough
Take one large portion of chocolate chip cookie dough and flatten it into a round wide enough to cover a s'mores stack. Shape it into a loose dome so it can drape over the chocolate and marshmallow.
-
4
Cover each stack
Place the cookie dough dome over the top of the s'mores stack and gently press the dough around the sides. Leave the graham cracker underneath as the base, then repeat with the remaining stacks.
-
5
Bake the cookies
Bake according to the time listed on your cookie dough package, or until the cookie dough is baked through and lightly golden around the edges. The marshmallow inside should soften and create a gooey center.
-
6
Make the little ghosts
While the cookies bake, use the black edible marker to draw two eyes and a small mouth on each of the remaining eight marshmallows. Try different expressions to give every ghost a little personality.
-
7
Add the marshmallow ghosts
Let the baked cookies rest for 2 to 3 minutes. While the melted marshmallow in the center is still warm and sticky, gently press one decorated marshmallow ghost into the soft marshmallow area on top of each cookie.
-
8
Serve while warm
Transfer the cookies to a serving plate and enjoy while the chocolate and marshmallow centers are still soft. Pair them with your favorite Halloween movie for a sweet and spooky movie-night treat.
Low-FODMAP Notes
The original inspiration uses packaged chocolate chip cookie dough, so ingredient labels deserve a closer look when adapting the recipe. Choose certified gluten-free cookie dough that is dairy-free or lactose-free and does not contain added inulin, chicory root, honey, or high-FODMAP sugar alcohols.
Use certified gluten-free graham-style crackers and dairy-free chocolate, and check marshmallows for high-fructose corn syrup or polyol sweeteners such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, or maltitol. The edible marker should also be checked if you follow a particularly sensitive dietary routine.
This recipe is designed with Low-FODMAP-friendly ingredients as a general wellness resource, but it has not been lab-tested. Brands and portion sizes can change the overall FODMAP content, so choose ingredients and servings that work for your individual needs.
Keep Your Treat and Your Routine Simple
These s'mores cookies are best enjoyed exactly as they come out of the oven, with their warm chocolate and gooey marshmallow center. If Regular Girl is already part of your day, enjoy it separately in water, a smoothie, or another cool drink instead of adding it to the hot cookie.
It is an easy way to keep your usual digestive wellness routine in place while still making room for fun seasonal treats.*
Keep Your Routine Simple →Recipe Tips
- Do not make the cookie dome too thin. You want enough dough to cover the s'mores stack without tearing as it spreads in the oven.
- Leave room between the cookies. Chocolate chip cookie dough spreads as it bakes, so give each s'mores stack plenty of space on the baking sheet.
- Add the ghost while the center is warm. The melted marshmallow works like a sticky little landing spot that helps hold the decorated ghost in place.
- Serve them warm. The contrast between the soft cookie, crisp graham cracker, melted chocolate, and stretchy marshmallow is at its best shortly after baking.
