S'mores Cookies (Recipe 150 of 150)

Tomorrow is the December Sunday dinner. As is tradition, we are having a cookie exchange. I like to make a new cookie, and a cookie that is a little different. Enter S'more Cookies!

This is a fun cookie to make. It really is very simple. They smell amazing while they are cooking. I haven't tasted one yet because, well, there's only 12 for tomorrow's dinner. Though I suppose I should taste one just in case they're gross. Unlikely, but it seems like the right thing to do. 

Hold on.

Phew. Ok. They're DELICIOUS! The toasted marshmallows on the top really is what makes this cookie. So good. 

The only thing I did different is I didn't bother buying large marshmallows for the top. I figured the small ones would work just fine as well, and they did. When you put them in under the broiler DO NOT WALK AWAY. They go quick.

I just reread the recipe and realized I didn't put the honey in! They still taste great, but honeyless.


S'mores Cookies
Recipe from Pioneer Woman
Makes 12 large cookies
  • 1 c salted butter, melted
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1/2 c honey
  • 1 T vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 c graham crumbs
  • 1 T kosher salt (yes one tablespoon)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 c milk chocolate chips
  • 1 c mini marshmallows
  • 2 milk chocolate bars
  • 6 large marshmallows, halved

Mix the butter, sugar, honey, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, graham crumbs, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and combine thoroughly using a spatula. Fold in the milk chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.

Using a 1/3-cup scoop, roll the mixture into 12 large balls. Place onto 2 parchment paper-lined sheet pans, spacing them evenly, and push a square of the milk chocolate bar into the top of each. Chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove the cookies and switch the oven to broil, letting it preheat for a couple minutes.

Add a halved marshmallow, cut side down, to the top of each cookie. Return to the oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the marshmallow toppings. Remove and let cool slightly before enjoying.
