Campfire Cookies (S'mores Cookies)




This is an yummy cookie that is easy to put together. If you are in The Woodlands and don't want to take the time to make them, go here and I'll make them for you. I'll even deliver them to your doorstep along with a pint of cold milk! :)


Campfire Cookies~


2 cups all purpose flour


2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa


3/4 tsp baking soda


1/2 tsp salt


1 cup butter, melted


1 1/2 cups sugar


2 eggs


2 tsp vanilla extract


2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips


For topping:


mini marshmallows


1/2 cup melted chocolate chips


graham cracker crumbs and small chunks



Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, cocoa, soda and salt. Set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (several minutes). Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet (I prefer to use ungreased parchment paper). Bake 8-10 minutes.


Note: (You will need to watch the cookies and take them out when they are still soft, but not mushy. My oven is very lazy and would rather make cracking and hissing noises that heat up, so I actually baked mine for about 11 minutes. I ALWAYS take cookies out of the oven early, when they are still soft, letting them remain on the hot pan for 1 minute to "set". Then remove them to a plate to cool. )


Remove the cookies from the oven and place 3-4 marshmallows on each cookie, slightly pressing them into the cookie. Place them back in the oven for 1 more minute to soften the marshmallows. Then take them out and top each cookie with graham cracker crumbs and chunks. Drizzle melted chocolate on each cookie. ( I use a ziplock bag with the corner cut away). Place the cookies in the freezer for about 10 minutes for the chocolate to harden.


Yield: about 3 dozen

Enjoy!
