S’Mores Cookies

Published on by carol lou

I was in the local bookstore getting a cup of coffee when I noticed the glossy poster with a S’More’s ccckie.  I thought to myself, what a perfect summer dessert when a campfire is not available.  So, out came Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and my variations.  I added coarsely chopped graham crackers to the dough and then topped the cookies with semi-sweet chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows.  I should call this a throw-back recipe since this reminds me of camping as a child and always having S’Mores around the campfire.
