It's probably a bad idea for me to have too much time on my hands on rainy Sunday afternoons; idle hands, are the devil's playthings and all that. I blame my friend N.
She posted a recipe for Giant S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies on
Facebook (see http://smells-like-home.com). With pictures. Envision a
cookie with a 6" diameter. Now imagine the cookie with an entire s'more
baked into its center. Yup. Disgusting stuff. I had to make them.
E made a grocery store run for me and when he came back with 2 bags of marshmallows, I admit I was slightly puzzled/annoyed. That's an awful lot of marshmallow when I only needed 4. Then I noticed that one bag was special:
 |
| Yup, flat marshmallows especially made for s'mores! |
 |
| Perfect for my recipe and the flatness did not change the taste one bit. I know 'cause I ate about 5 of them. |
 |
| A blob of cookie dough, topped by graham cracker, chocolate and the nifty marshmallows |
 |
| A graham cracker topper |
 |
| Then the whole thing is covered with more cookie dough |
 |
| A brick of chocolatey goodness! |
 |
| The cookies had to be placed 4" apart so only 2 per sheet |
 |
| When the dough started to melt down, I got worried--it looked like the dough was going to sheet right off of the s'more |
 |
| They flattened out a bit while they were cooling but it was still obvious that something was hidden under there. |
|
|
|
 |
| A chewy cookie with a gooey center |

I really liked the way the graham cracker maintained some of its crunch, but I did wish there was more marshmallow. It's a rich, decadent treat that you will probably want to share. Or not.
