When we recently had a party, I had my own cookie extravaganza and baked up a batch of these beauties so all the family and friends could relive the glories of a camp fire S'more with out the fire hazard of small children and an over eager dog.
S'more Cookie Bites
(makes about 32 cookies)
1 1/2 cups roughly ground graham cracker crumbs (plus 1/2 a cup more for later)
1 cup of AP flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 c softened butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar (medium pack)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
10 oz chopped chocolate (I prefer milk for a real S'more taste)
16 marshmallows, cut in half
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the egg and mix in until incorporated.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cracker crumbs, cinnamon and salt. Mix into the butter and sugar slowly, about 1/3 at a time.
Your dough will be thick, sticky, and little lumpy from any larger cracker crumbs, don't worry, that's normal.
Scoop 1 Tbs sized balls onto the baking sheets and bake for 9-12 minuts, or until golden.
Cool on a rack until luke warm.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate. When they are just slightly warm to the touch, top each cookie with a small dollop of chocolate and a marshmallow half. Toast the top of each cookie with a blow torch or under the broiler (only 30 seconds at a time if using a broiler!) Add another small dollop of chocolate to the top of the toasted marshmallow and sprinkle with the remaining cracker crumbs.
Cookies can be served warm for a classic messy S'more experience, of cooled for a more sophisticated crowd
(My group was all for the mess, though!)
ENJOY!
