S'mores Cookies #SundaySupper

     This week #SundaySupper is all about our favorite Holiday Cookie Exchange cookies!  When I first heard the theme I had a ton of ideas.  My favorite cookies to make are thumbprint cookies with homemade jam.  I also really enjoy brown butter chocolate chip cookies but I wanted to make something a little bit different for this week.  Then I remembered the cookies I made a few weeks ago for our friends.

     A few weeks ago our friends called us up and told us they had closed on a house.  They were super excited to move in but had to wait a few days because our town was basically closed for a celebration of its' 200th birthday.  Our friends did want us to come over and see the house though so we made plans to go over later on in the evening.

      Because I can never show up anywhere empty handed I began looking for something to make.  They absolutely love my desserts so I wanted to make something sweet to take over.  These S'mores cookies caught my eye immediately.

      I thought it was interesting that the cookie dough is made and then placed on top of a graham cracker square.  The marshmallows are inside the dough and then a Hershey bar is placed on top.  They came out of the oven gooey and delicious.  The cookies were super sweet but definietly tasted like S'mores.

      We took them over to our friends house and they loved them!  These were a great choice for this special occasion.

S'mores Cookies (adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything)
6 T. butter, softened
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
1/3 c. sugar

1 1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c.  mini marshmallows

7 sheets graham crackers, broken into squares

1.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2.  In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.  Set aside.

3.  In another medium bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar.  Mix well.

4.  Add the egg and vanilla to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.  Stir in the milk.

5.  Add the sugar mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

6.  Place graham cracker squares on baking sheets, making sure they are close together.  Spoon a large tablespoon of dough on top of each square.  Press down on the dough.

7.  Bake for 7 minutes and then remove from the oven.  Place a Hershey bar piece on top of the dough and then continue to bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
