cobblestone and smooth stone slabs do not work.

The Smooth Stone Slab is flat, polished smooth stone cut into a slab. Its material is Smooth Stone, so it keeps that block's look and toughness. All slabs, stairs and walls work alike, as the Stone Slab, Stone Stairs and Cobblestone Wall pages explain; the Smooth Stone page covers the material.
It is made with the Crafting Table from 3 × Smooth Stone (other recipes also exist). It is mined with a pickaxe.
3 × Smooth Stone → 6 × Smooth Stone Slab
