FOOD: The Bake – S’mores Inspired Cookie

By Paris Brown, NNPA Newswire Contributor

It was a perfect night for a bonfire.

We invited some friends over to talk and enjoy the cool air and burning fire. And where there’s fire, there are s’mores! So, I decided to make an s’mores-inspired cookie.

This recipe is the fastest and easiest one I’ve ever created.

It only has a couple of steps, and it only takes about 15 minutes.

The first thing I did was make my graham cracker cookie as a base for my s’more.

Then, as that was baking, I melted some chocolate.

Once the cookies were cooled, I drizzled them in chocolate and plopped a marshmallow on top. Then, I put them in the broiler for a couple of seconds, then bam! You’re done.

Making delicious desserts doesn’t have to be hard.

Ingredients 

1. 1/4 cup milk
2. 8 oz chocolate
3. I bag of marshmallows
4. 2 1/2 cups crushed Graham crackers (about 24 Graham crackers)
5. 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
6. 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
7. 1/2 cup white sugar
8. 1/4 teaspoon salt
9. 1 1/2 teaspoon bourbon vanilla extract (you can use regular extract too)
10. 2 large eggs

Instructions 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
2. In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Then add eggs and vanilla extract. Scoop onto a tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, pour in the milk and the chocolate and microwave until melted.
4. Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle them with the chocolate. Put the marshmallows on top and put them in the broiler to toast.
5. Enjoy!!
