Fudgy S'mores Cookies

Summer always gets me thinking s’mores.

Just when I thought I’d finally put that delicious combination to rest (cookies, cookies again, cupcakes, and again, bark, frapp, cake, brownies), I got another idea.

Yep, it’s cookie #3 and they’re best yet!  These ones have all the wonderful flavor and texture of my chocolate M&M pudding cookies, with a punch of s’more!  These are so good that I’m making them on a weekly basis!

Happy summer!

Fudgy S’mores Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 (3.4 oz) package chocolate instant pudding

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp special dark cocoa powder

2 cups all purpose flour

2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

2/3 cup mini mallow bits (mini marshmallows)

2/3 cup crushed graham crackers (3 graham cracker sheets)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment.

Place the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth and creamy.  Add the pudding mix and mix until combined.

Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix each one thoroughly; stir in the vanilla.

Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. 

Use a large spoon to stir in the mini chocolate chips, mallow bits, & graham crackers.

Use a 2 tablespoon scoop to drop the cookies onto the prepared sheets.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set.  Cool on wire racks and store in a tightly sealed container.

Makes about 36 cookies
