S'mores Cookies — Alexandra Hedin | Family Friendly Recipes & Cocktails

There’s a cookie shop near our house that makes a cookie called the Mackle-s’more. It’s a S’more cookie named after Macklemore in case you didn’t get the pun. At my son’s school they do a research project on a famous Washingtonian at the end of fourth grade. My son chose Macklemore. As a complete over achiever, that mean I had to make my own version of these Macklemore inspired cookies. They are ridiculously good. I can’t even tell you how much I love them.

I learned a few tricks when making them so yours will be prettier than mine. First, wait at least five minutes from bringing the cookies out of the oven to putting the chocolate on top. Otherwise you get a puddle of melted chocolate and it definitely isn’t as cute. Second, I usually just scoop the cookie dough and let it do it’s thing. That’s not possible with the marshmallows. It’s best to roll the dough a little and try to shove the marshmallows into the center. Lastly, the better the chocolate, the butter the cookie. I highly recommend something dark. I ran out when I was making mine since I didn’t plan on making two batches so I ended up with a little Hershey’s in the mix.

S’mores Cookies

Makes 24

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup mini marshmallows (lightly packed)

1 box graham crackers

2 bars chocolate broken into 24 squares

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and both sugars until lightened in color.

STEP 2

Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until fluffy.

STEP 3

Add together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Blend them before adding to the butter mixture. Just barely mix then add the marshmallows.

STEP 4

Lay out half of a graham cracker on the baking sheet. Top with a scoop of cookie dough. Use your hands to form a ball - tucking the marshmallow into the center of the cookie as much as possible. Bake 10-12 minutes.

STEP 5

Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a baking rack. Let cool five to eight minutes and then press a square of chocolate on top. Serve once the chocolate has re-hardened.
