What is a s'more?
A s'more is a classic American campfire treat made of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. The name "s'more" comes from the phrase "some more," which reflects the desire to have another serving of this sweet, gooey dessert. The traditional way to make a s'more is to roast a marshmallow over a fire until it's golden brown and melted, then sandwich it between two halves of a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate. The heat from the marshmallow melts the chocolate, creating a deliciously messy, indulgent treat that's perfect for sharing around a campfire with friends and family. Nowadays, there are many variations of s'mores, from s'mores cookies to s'mores ice cream, but the classic campfire s'more remains a beloved American tradition.

Notes:
Be sure to use room-temperature vegan butter to achieve a creamy texture when mixing.
Don't over-beat the dough when adding the flour mixture as it can result in tough cookies.
The dough needs to be refrigerated for an hour before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. Pro-tip, if you're short on time, you can also freeze the dough for 15 minutes and achieve a similar result!
The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.
