S'mores Cookies: 1 dough, 3 cookies


I bought everything to make S'mores with my husbands son last time he was over,
it was both our first times making and eating s'mores. He said he knew about them
because wow wow wubbzy went camping and made s'mores.
Maybe it was the lack of the camping tent, fire pit and stars but I didn't think very
highly of the famous S'mores treat, too sweet, not my thing.

I had a bunch of leftovers and I remembered seeing a s'mores cookie on pinterest
that really caught my eye, I was in the mood for something sweet and indulging
and so I outdid myself. I made a graham cracker cookie dough and from there
made three different s'mores cookies.
The cookies turned out absolutely amazing, all three of them.
Even the plain graham cracker cookies hold their own! You could do that if s'mores
aren't your thing. Either way this is a great recipe, one I'm keeping in the book!


Graham Cracker Cookies
recipe from: Cooking Classy

Ingredients:

- 10 graham cracker sheets, finely ground in a food processor
- 1 c. flour
- 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/2 c. butter, room temperature
- 2/3 c. packed brown sugar
- 1/3 c. granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 t. vanilla extract

S'mores Sandwich Cookies (top left)

- 1 recipe graham cracker cookie dough
- 1 bag of marshmallows
- 3/4 c. chocolate chips

S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies (top right)


- 1 recipe graham cracker cookie dough
- 1 c. mallow bits, the ones for hot chocolate
- 1 c. chocolate chips

S'mores Cookies (bottom)

- 1 recipe graham cracker cookie dough
- 1 bag of marshmallows
-  3 chocolate bars


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine ground crackers, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt,
set aside.

Beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Stir in egg and vanilla. Slowly add in
dry ingredients, mix until well combined.

S'mores Sandwich Cookies: Scoop 1 teaspoon of dough at a time, using hands roll into
a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten balls slightly (I like using the bottom
of a small cup) and bake for 9 minutes, remove from oven. Place a marshmallow on top
of half of the cookies, bake for another 2 minutes or turn on the broiler and slide them under
the broiler for about a minute watching the cookies closely so mallows won't burn,
after you take out the cookies from the oven top each cookie with the remaining cookies
and let cool. Melt chocolate chips in microwave by 10 seconds intervals, stirring after each
time until chocolate is completely smooth. Scoop melted chocolate into small ziploc, snip
off a small corner and drizzle chocolate over cooled sandwich cookies.

S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies: Stir in the mallow bits and the chocolate chips into
the graham cracker cookie dough. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, using hands
roll into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten balls slightly and bake for
12 minutes.

S'mores Cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, using hands roll into a ball
and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten balls slightly and bake for 12 minutes. Remove
cookies from oven and top each with a marshmallow (I used the flat ones for s'mores,
you can cut marshmallow in half) then top with a piece of chocolate and place under the
broiler for 1 minute.

You can make one, two or all three. These are great to share with loved ones, pack up
and take on a camping trip or simply enjoy in your backyard under the stars with good
company, what a way to feel all outdoorsy!
