S’mores Cookies
It’s the Fourth, baby! Time to grab you some good eats.
I was running around like a crazy person yesterday morning trying to throw these cookies together for a July 4th cookout. Definitely worth it. I stole the recipe from my girl Martha, and she was on point, as usual. It’s basically a s’more in cookie form, except Martha doesn’t actually use graham flour/crackers as the cookie base. She uses oats, spins them around in a food processor for a minute, adds whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and a slew of other cookielicious ingredients to trick you into thinking you’re eating a s’more. You win, Martha. Obvi.
I was a little scared to add as much chocolate as Martha did, because what if the chocolate melted everywhere, and ruined the batch, and then I had to start over, and then I’d be late? That was not happening. So I went halfsies on the chocolate, but now I regret it. I will totally go all out on the chocolate next time. I did sub in the classic Hershey bar for Martha’s chocolate selection, though. I spent enough summers working on the Hershey Trolley to know that s’mores require Hershey bars. Period.
Anyways, make these cookies and then enjoy your 4th. You won’t have to worry about them at your cook out because they’d still be awesome if they melt in the sun.
S’mores Cookies
Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light-brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into 30 squares (she means Hershey bars.)
- 15 large marshmallows, halved horizontally
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse oats until finely ground. Add flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; pulse to combine. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, scraping down side of bowl. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture just until combined.
- Drop dough by tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Top each with a chocolate square. Bake just until lightly golden, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Remove sheets from oven; heat broiler. Top each cookie with a marshmallow. One sheet at a time, broil until marshmallows are lightly browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
I can’t wait to make these in two weeks when my boyfriend comes to visit… Aussies don’t do s’mores (crazy, I know) so this will be a yummy initiation into some more American culture!
I also tried these cookies for the first time on the 4th! I was just looking for the recipe again and found you blog post. They weren’t a super hit at my house, and I checked out your post, wondering if you had the same experience. I loved the marshmallow and Hershey bar on the top,(I also don’t think s’mores are s’mores w/o Hershey…silly Martha,) but didn’t like the cookie. Tonight I’m going to try a graham cracker cookie recipe and see if that makes the difference. Hopefully, I’ll get around to posting how they turn on my blog!
