I took a poll over at Instagram to see which recipe you guys wanted first. The best carrot cake ever or s'mores cookies? I was so sure that s'more was going to win by a landslide but I was wrong. Even thought s'mores did win, it only won by a little. (57:43) I was secretly voting for carrot cake because my carrot cake recipe is actually the best and to those who wanted the carrot cake, don't worry, it's coming out next!
However, these cookies are perfect for winter. They have all the elements of a s'more but shoved into a chocolate cookie. They satisfy your s'mores craving when making a campfire is close to impossible. The marshmallows on top become slightly toasted but are still nice and gooey even when they cool off. It makes for a great pull any time you want to eat one and gooey marshmallows are half the fun of eating s'more! Plus, there is a huge piece of chocolate all melty on the inside of the cookie and it's studded with graham cookies all round the top.
s'mores cookies
Makes 15 - 17 cookies
Ingredients:
225 grams of all purpose flour
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
170 grams of softened butter
100 grams of brown sugar
100 grams of white sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
100 grams of chocolate chunk
about 1/2 cup of marshmallows
about 1/4 cup of graham crackers
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl combine the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a spoon or whisk to combine everything.
In a standing mixer beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium speed until everything becomes light in color and fluffy in texture.
Next, add in your egg and vanilla extract and continue beating until completely incorporated with the butter sugar mixture.
Now add in the flour mixture and on the lowest speed of your mixer and beat together until combined.
Now that your dough is done, take it off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chunks!
Using a 2 tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop out as many cookies as you can and place them onto a silicone or parchment lined baking tray about 2 inches apart . I normally get anywhere between 16 - 18 cookies.
Flatten the cookie out just a bit and then top it with 4 - 5 mini marshmallows or 1 large marshmallow.
Take the graham crackers and stab them around the cookie. If you have larger graham crackers break them up into bite sized piece.
Bake for 11- 12 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed up and slightly golden brown on top.
