Smore Cookies

When you look at this recipe you think WOW are those going to be rich.  They are a little but not as bad as you think.  I was very skeptical about these cookies but they are GOOD.  I mean really how bad can chocolate and grahm crackers be?














Ingredients
  • 11 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips  (I used mini chips)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 3 regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces
  • 1-2 packages graham crackers, broken into squares
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking pans with parchment paper or tin foil. I used the 11 x 17 pan.
  2. Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching).
  3. Cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  6. Place rounded tablespoons of dough on graham crackers about 1 – 1 ½ inches apart. Use your fingertips to slightly press down.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from oven to press Hershey’s bar pieces on to the top.
  8. Bake for and additional 7-9 more minutes or until dough is beginning to turn golden brown at the edges. Make sure cookies are completely cool before cutting, otherwise you'll end up with a doughy mess!
