S'more Cookies

Once again I've had to adapt the classic Cook's Illustrated Perfect Chocolate Chip cookie to make a crazy cookie concoction. Cook's Illustrated just creates the perfect cookie base- it is like a blank canvas that ingredients can be added to in order to make a decadent culinary conception.
(Cook's Illustrated Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie)
I have to say these s'more cookies are addictive. The first time I made them they were gone in about an hour and then an hour after that I received some very angry yelling from my housemates, once again, that I am not aloud to make cookies anymore because they eat them all. There is my warning, but otherwise enjoy these delicious cookies that will take you back to sitting around a campfire and enjoying the good old outdoors.





Servings: About 24 cookies

Ingredients:

1 3/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 3/4 (14 Tablespoons) Sticks of Unsalted Butter
1/2 Cup of Granulated Sugar
1/2 Cup of  Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons of Vanilla
1 Large Egg
1 Large Egg Yolk
1 1/4 Cups of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup of Crushed Graham Crackers
Mini Marshmallows




Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place Butter into a pan on the stove. Melt the butter and allow it to brown.

In a bowl combine the sugars, egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and salt.
In a separate bowl mix the flour and baking soda together.
Take the browned butter and add it to the sugar mixture. Whisk well to get out all of the lumps.
Slowly add a small amount of the flour mixture and stir. Repeat until all the flour is well incorporated.

Allow the dough mixture to cool for five minutes.
Then add the chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers,



Take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and put into the over for 8-10 minutes. Then press 3 marshmallows on top of each cookie. (Note: the marshmallows will burn so watch the cookies!)

Once cooked allow the cookies to cool, then move to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool entirely.




Enjoy with some milk or by a campfire!
