S'mores Cookies


I got this recipe from a blog called Baked Perfection and while it is one of my more labor intensive cookies, it is the favorite of everyone who has tried it.

Makes: Roughly 36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash of cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 King size Hershey bars, chopped into chunks (make 3 pieces out of each predefined piece for 2 chocolate pieces per cookie)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, salt, and dash of cinnamon. 
  3. In a second bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
  5. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. 
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips. 
  7. Put in freezer for 20-30min to chill dough
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.
  9. Bake for 8 minutes, and remove from the oven. 
  10. Quickly push 3 to 4 marshmallows and a few pieces of hershey bar into each cookies. 
  11. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. 
  12. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
    Thoughts: 
    I like these cookies, they are currently my most labor intensive cookie, which is something I hope to change. My only "complaint" about them is that they get really flat when cooling. When you pull them out of the oven to put in the marshmallows and chocolate, they look great, but by the time all of that is on, and then they are back out of the oven again, they are very flat. Maybe some baking powder would help? Not sure
    Next Time:
    • Try putting in 1 teaspoon baking powder to see if the cookies stay a little fluffier.
