Graham Cracker S'mores Cookies

Adapted from Sweet Pea's Kitchen

I get daily emails from Sweet Pea's Kitchen of her newest recipes.  I actually get emails from multiple food/recipe blogs, but I think I look forward to this email the most.  Her recipes are often sweet, baked goods which I dream about making all the time, but my waistline can't afford it more than once every week or two.  The main problem is I just can't stop after one cookie/brownie/cupcake/etc...  If I could, then I would definitely bake more often, but instead I allow  myself to drool a bit each morning when I open Sweet Pea's email.  As soon as I opened this recipe from Miss Sweet Pea, I knew I HAD to make it.  And it really did turn out sensational.  I loved the hint of cinnamon in the cookie and would really consider just making the cookies by themselves if I didn't have the rest of the s'mores ingredients.  Anyway, this is delicious!  Give it a try!

Ingredients:

• 1 package graham crackers, broken into squares
• 2 ½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (12 ounce) bag semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 – 3 regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper. Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla.
• Reduce the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
• Fold in chips and marshmallows. Place tablespoons of dough on each graham cracker square. Press down slightly with fingertips.
• Bake for 5 minutes then remove from oven to press Hershey’s bar pieces on to the top.
• Return pans to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 more minutes or until dough is golden brown at the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
