S'mores Cookies

S'mores Cookies

These cookies are very good.  The original recipe comes from Nikki at Chef-in-Training 

I made them a little bit different to cut some fat and to get a larger cookie.   This is a perfect recipe for kids in the kitchen.  DD crushed the graham crackers for me, stirred together the dry ingredients and dumped them into the bowl.   Here's my recipe:

• 3/4 cup butter softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding dry
• 2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg beaters
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 sheets graham crackers finely crushed
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 2 - 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2-2/3 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugars together. Add in pudding mix and beat until well incorporated.
2. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended.
3. In a small bowl, stir graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and flour until evenly mixed.
4. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until well incorporated.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly mixed in. Add more if desired.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. You want these cookies to be slightly undercooked. It helps make them extra soft :)  I used a cookie scoop for each cookie.  They were nice sized.  You may want to use a teaspoon for smaller cookies.  I also baked them on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10 minutes, let them sit on the sheet for another 3, then cooled on a wire rack.  They were soft and yummy.

Enjoy!
