Campfire Cookie Squares
July 10, 2026
A fun camping-inspired cookie packed with white chocolate, marshmallows, chocolate graham crackers, and Golden Oreos!
I wanted to make a camping dessert that wasn’t another s’mores recipe, and these Campfire Cookie Squares ended up being exactly what I was hoping for. They have all the flavors you’d expect around a campfire, but in cookie form. The white chocolate holds everything together, the marshmallows get soft and gooey, and the crunchy graham crackers and Golden Oreos add the best texture. They are the perfecting camping treat with a twist.
Flavor Profile
These cookie squares have a soft, chewy chocolate chip cookie base with a creamy layer of white chocolate. Chocolate graham crackers add that familiar campfire flavor while Golden Oreos bring a buttery crunch. The marshmallows soften just enough in the oven, and the mini chocolate chips add even more chocolate throughout.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Every bite has a mix of a soft cookie, creamy white chocolate, crunchy cookies, and chocolate.
- The layers give these cookie squares great texture.
- They’re a fun camping-themed dessert that feels different from the usual s’mores recipes.

The Twist
Most campfire desserts use melted marshmallows as the main layer. Instead, these cookie squares use melted white chocolate to hold all of the toppings together. It adds a creamy flavor, keeps everything in place, and makes the squares much easier to cut cleanly.
Ingredient Highlights
- Chocolate chip cookie dough: The shortcut that makes this recipe quick while creating a soft, chewy base.
- White melting wafers: The secret ingredient that holds all the toppings together after it hardens.
- Chocolate graham crackers: Add classic campfire flavor with an extra hint of chocolate.
- Golden Oreos: Buttery, crunchy, and the perfect contrast to the soft cookie.
- Mini marshmallows: Soften in the oven without turning into a sticky mess.
- Mini chocolate chips: The finishing touch for even more chocolate in every bite.
Campfire Cookie Squares
Ingredients
- 1 (16.5-ounce) roll refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 cup Ghirardelli White Vanilla Melting Wafers, melted
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate graham crackers
- 1/2 cup mini Golden Oreos, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chocolate, white, or colorful sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a quarter sheet pan or 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Press the cookie dough into an even layer in the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- While the cookie is still warm, spread the melted white chocolate over the top in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, crushed chocolate graham crackers, chopped Golden Oreos, mini chocolate chips, and sprinkles over the white chocolate. Gently press the toppings into the melted chocolate so they stay in place after it sets.
- Return the pan to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the marshmallows soften slightly. They should become soft and puffy without browning.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has hardened.
- Lift the cookie out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve.
Tip: For the cleanest slices, let the cookie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes after refrigerating. This helps the white chocolate cut more smoothly without cracking.
FAQ
Can I use regular graham crackers instead of chocolate graham crackers?
Yes! Regular graham crackers work just as well and still give you that classic campfire flavor.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. They slice beautifully once the white chocolate has hardened, making them perfect for making a day ahead.
How should I store these Campfire Cookie Squares?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to one week.
Can I use homemade cookie dough?
Yes. Just use enough dough to press into an even layer in your baking pan.
Do I have to use sprinkles?
Not at all. They’re optional, but they add a fun pop of color that makes the squares feel even more fun.
Sprinkle of Fun
Bring these to an outdoor movie night, set out mason jars filled with your favorite soft drinks, and spread out a few cozy flannel blankets. It’s an easy way to turn a movie under the stars into a fun little camping-themed evening.
