s'more cookies, make s'more smiles... wow... i'm really that corny :)

forgive me for that awful attempt at a funny title... i haven't even had a glass or three of wine, i was just trying to be funny... but man... what a bomb!! epic fail... oh well... but as you can see, i'm not changing the title :) i'm sticking with the shameful corniness of it all... but it's all worth it for the end result... these cookies...

these yummy, mess free s'mores... now don't get me wrong, one of the best parts about eating a s'more is how sticky you get... but with a 5 year old and a 2 year old, these are a god-send... all the deliciousness with minimal cleanup... and simple to make too!

i came across this recipe over at "baked perfection"... and the picture just got me hooked... lucky for me i had some mini marshmallows hanging around for when the hot chocolate hankering kicks in... and this house is never without chocolate... so... let the baking begin...

s'mores cookies
adapted from "baked perfection"

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups miniature chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
2 Hershey bars, chopped (i only had a few snack sized ones, so i added a bit more chocolate chips to the batter instead)

directions:
1. preheat oven to 375
2. in a medium bowl combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, salt, and dash of cinnamon
3. then, in a large bowl beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy
4. add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
5. slowly beat in the flour mixture until the batter is smooth, then stir in the chocolate chips
6. drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet(mine was lined with a silocone mat)

8. cool cookies and then consume

i also apologize for the lack of luster in my photos... it was a dull and rainy day and all i had was my old camera...

oh well... but they still were yummy...

happy baking everyone!
