If you’re judging desserts by the ratio of deliciousness to the number of ingredients, s’mores have to rank pretty high. The combination of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, but I think that using a perfectly golden brown, gooey campfire-roasted marshmallow has a lot to do with that! These Kirkland Signature S’more Cookies obviously can’t include the magic of toasted marshmallows, but the Costco bakery has a strong track record of making good cookies. Do these ones do the dessert that inspired them justice?
Other cookies from Costco that I’ve reviewed include the Kirkland Signature Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies, Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies, Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies, the Kirkland Signature Chocolate Lover’s Cookie Pack, Kirkland Signature Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, Lacey’s Macadamia Milk Chocolate Cookies, Kirkland Signature Confetti Cookies and the Lotus Biscoff Cookies.
Location in Store
These are located in the bakery section at Costco. The item number is 1732180 and I bought them at the Kalispell, Montana Costco.
Taste
The first thing I thought of when I tried a S’mores Cookie was Chips Ahoy! They taste somewhat similar. Obviously, they also have some similarities to the Kirkland Signature Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
The S’mores Cookies are soft and chewy. The bites with marshmallows are extremely chewy! The marshmallows don’t really have a distinctive flavor, though I imagine they’re the main reason these S’more Cookies taste a bit sweeter than the standard Chocolate Chunk. I did really enjoy the chewiness of the marshmallows though.
Overall I would say the cookies are a sweeter, chewier version of the Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
Cost
The container of 24 cookies costs $9.99 USD at Costco, which isn’t cheap because the cookies aren’t huge and I can buy 24 large cookies in Canada for cheaper.
Convenience
The cookies come in a plastic resealable container with a sell-by date that’s four days from when we purchased them. The container can be easily popped into the freezer if you’re not going to eat the cookies prior to the best-before-date.
I think both kids and adults will enjoy these cookies, especially if you like s’mores! They’re perfect for a summer potluck, barbecue or camping trip.
Nutrition
Calories
One cookie contains 130 calories, six grams of fat, 125 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, 11 grams of sugar and one gram of protein.
Ingredients
The ingredients list contains everything an actual s’more has, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate and marshmallows. None of the ingredients are healthy and I could definitely do without the palm oil, soy protein and carrageenan. These cookies contain wheat, egg, milk and soy and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and sesame.
