S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies - September 2, 2012

A pinterest find. I was looking for a yummy cookie to take camping... and I found the perfect one.

S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 sticks (8 ounces) softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
3½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
24 graham cracker quarters or 12 full sheets separated at perforations
3 Hershey Bars, broken into rows of 3 bars
12 large marshmallows cut in half lengthwise

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silpat liner.
2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
3. Place flour, salt and baking soda into a bowl; mix to combine then add slowly to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips.
4. Layer a graham cracker quarter with 3 Hershey chocolate squares and 2 marshmallow halves. Close with another graham cracker.
5. Top s’more with a large scoop of cookie dough. Place in hands and place another large scoop on bottom then front and back sides as needed. 
 Form dough around s’mores. It is much easier than it sounds, just make sure your dough is around room temperature, and make one big disc shape. Pinch off excess dough if you have too much. 
(note: When your cookies go into the oven, they should look like HUGE, lumpy cookie dough balls on the tray.  The s'more should be completely encased with dough! The picture above just shows how it will look before you smooth the dough all over the s'more.)
6. Place large cookies onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack or serving plate.
 Look at the size of these things!!!!

Husband Rating:
Ummmm, awesome! I'm not a big fan of s'mores because I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows. These were seriously sooo good! The marshmallow kind of melted into the cookie dough and formed this super chewy layer. The whole batch made about 12 cookies... maybe. They were seriously huge. You can split one of these between two or three people no problem. Try these.
