I walked into the house to the most delicious smell. Nic started BBQ beef in the crockpot at lunch and walking in, on a rather cold day, to the smell of comfort food was the best. I spent the evening looking at decorating magazines and on the phone with Trend Micro trying to fix my computer (It was freezing up and I thought I had a virus). Just before Nic got home from basketball I started making a dessert I have been really excited to try. S'more Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies! We ate our dinner (the meat was so tender I broke it up with a wood spoon!) and finished making our cookies. They completely exceeded our expectations! These are my favoirte so far! If you try only one of the recipes I have posted, try this one! *I just want to take this moment to announce that I met my goal this week of going to the gym 3 times! (this was necessary before you see how massive these cookies are. ;))
S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks softened butter
1 Cup granulated sugar
3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 1/2 Cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 Cups semi sweet chocolate chips
24 graham cracker quarters or 12 full sheets separated at perforations
3 Hershey Bars, broken into rows of 3 bars
12 large marshmallows cut in half lengthwise
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silpat liner.
2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, continue to beat until well combined.
3. Place flour, salt and baking soda into a bowl; mix to combine then add slowly to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips.
4. Layer a graham cracker quarter (I cut the quarter in half) with 3 Hershey chocolate squares (I also cut these in half) and 2 marshmallow halves (I used one marshmallow half for each smore). Close with another graham cracker. Top s’more with a large scoop of cookie dough. Place in hands and place another large scoop on bottom then front and back sides as needed. Form dough around s’mores. Will get messy, but stick with it, it does not have to be perfect. S’mores will move around but it’s no big deal. Place large cookies onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack or serving plate.
Makes 12 large stuffed cookies.
