The other night, my daughter had a friend over. Granted, this friend is closer to my age than hers, and we had a fun time all hanging out. We wanted to make a dessert and s’mores came up, and also the idea of cookies. Allie, who’s 8, had the genius idea of s’mores cookies! We all got excited, I started pulling out ingredients, then realized- oops. We were completely out of eggs! So we made regular ole s’mores instead- but I could NOT get the idea of s’mores cookies out of my head!
So last night, we made them for our community group’s last session before summer begins. I came home with an empty platter, so I’m guessing that’s a sign that they were good.
At first, I couldn’t figure out how to incorporate the graham cracker element of s’mores because I figured they would just get mushy if I put them directly into the dough. I happened to have a jar of marshmallow creme around the house, so we spread that on top, then sprinkled graham cracker crumbs on top. I should mention, marshmallow creme is just divine!
Enjoy! A perfect treat for summer days, and fun to make with your kiddos!
