S’mores Cookies

A gooey bite of nostalgia

S’mores are such a nostalgic treat and it’s fun to incorporate them in a number of desserts. I’ve done cheesecake, pie, cake, but I haven’t done cookies! These chocolate cookies have marshmallows, chocolate chips and graham crackers in them for a chewy decadent treat!

Makes around 15 Cookies

 

Ingredients:

½ Cup (113g) Softened Unsalted Butter

1 ¼ Cups (250g) Brown Sugar, Packed

1 Large Egg plus One Egg Yolk, Room Temp

2 Tsp (8g) Vanilla Extract

2 Tbs (20g) Milk

1 3/4 Cups (210g) All Purpose Flour

½ Tsp (2g) Salt

½ Tsp (2g) Baking Soda

½ Cup (50g) Cocoa Powder

¼ Tsp (1g) Cream of Tartar

1 Cup (55g) Mini Marshmallows

1 Cup (180g) Semisweet Chocolate Chips

¾ Cup (60g) Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter (optional)

Oreo Cookies (optional)

Directions:

1.     In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and cream of tartar. Set aside.

2.     In a separate bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk and combine, then add the vanilla and milk and combine.

3.     Add the dry mixture and mix until the dough just comes together, then add the marshmallows, chocolate chips, peanut butter if using, and graham cracker crumbs and mix on a low speed until combine.

4.     Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 45 minutes, then preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F (180C).

5.     Line a couple cookie sheets with parchment paper and use either a spoon or a 1 ¾ inch cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the sheets, placing them 2 inches apart. Gently press the dough down about halfway. If you want to make bigger/smaller cookies, note that the baking time will vary. For this size cookie, bake for 15-17 minutes, until set. If you want to put an Oreo in the center of the cookies, use a 2 3/4 inch cookie scoop for each cookie, flatten it into a disk in your hand, place the Oreo in the center, then fold the dough around the Oreo, making a thick disk shape. This may be messy, so use gloves if you have them! The baking time should be about the same if you do it this way.

6.     Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before moving and eating.
