Gluten free S’mores Pizza is my way of bringing the deliciousness of making s’mores around the campfire inside when it just isn’t possible to do it the traditional way. Plus, you get the added bonus of a tender, buttery cookie base to hold it all together! It is so quick and simple to make with kids too, so they don’t have to lose out on the fun of making campfire s’mores.
Make the Cookie Base
This buttery sugar cookie dough is very forgiving. Most of the time I take the butter straight from the fridge and cut it into chunks. By the time I get the rest of the ingredients together and preheat the oven, the butter is still cold, but soft enough to mix with the sugar without straining the beaters. Using the butter while it is still cold, instead of letting it come to room temp, will likely prevent the need to chill the dough before rolling it out.
Once the butter and sugar are combined well, the egg and vanilla get mixed in. Then the flour and salt get added in a little at a time. Pull the dough together into a ball and place it on a parchment lined sheet pan. Use a rolling pin to roll it out a little less than ¼ of an inch. Shape it with your hands into a circle.
Bake the S’mores Pizza
Bake the cookie base until it is no longer doughy in the middle and the edges may brown just a little on the edges. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and bits of gluten free graham crackers on top. I use Pamela’s gluten free Honey Grahams, the flavor and texture is great:-) Pop the pizza back in the oven under the broiler for about a minute and when the marshmallows are golden brown, remove, slice & devour!

S'mores Pizza
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon butter - cool, *see notes below
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups gluten free flour with xanthan gum - Cup4Cup & Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF Baking Flour work well for this recipe
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup graham crackers - I use Pamela's GF Honey Grahams, broken by hand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, blend cool butter and sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla.
- Gradually add the flour and salt a little at a time so the flour doesn’t fly all over. You can do this by hand if you prefer, just be sure that it is combined well.
- Roll out the dough into a circle on the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for approximately 18 minutes, or until the center is baked through and the edges have barely changed color, if at all.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with toppings.
- Turn the oven to broil and return the pizza to the oven watching the toppings very carefully. As soon as the marshmallows are toasty, remove from the oven. This should only take a minute or two.
- Enjoy right away or store at room temp until ready to dig in!
