Smores cookies

Like so many other people, we have had a brutal stretch of cold weather…. making most of us dream of summer.  And what says summer more than smores!   So I made smores cookies.   I didn’t have mini marshmallow bits, so I chopped up the marshmallow pieces from Lucky Charms cereal. 

I put some crushed graham crackers in the cookies and some milk chocolate chips.  And I topped them with melted hershey kisses and more crushed graham crackers.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I chilled these individual doughs for an hour before baking, so you don’t have to.   And preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup marshmallow bits
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions- in a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar.  Add egg, water and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients.   Stir in graham cracker crumbs, then mix in marshmallow bits, and chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill an hour.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 10 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.   I topped these with melted hershey kisses and extra graham cracker crumbs.

  Store in covered container.

Milk chocolate chip mini marshmallow bit cookies

I went a little out of the box with this treat – milk chocolate chip cookies with mini marshmallow bits.  I thought they would be easier to use and less messy than mini marshmallows.  And they were!

I used a combination of cocoa powder and hot cocoa mix, but you can leave out the cocoa mix if you want.

Remember to scoop your flour and cocoa from their respective containers so you get the correct amount.  If you pour directly into the measuring cup, it gets packed in, and you end up with too much flour and dry cookies.  Yuck!
