I have so many fond memories from childhood of roasting smores.
You get a little graham cracker, melty chocolate and toasted marshmallow in each bite.
Whats more, this is a great project to get the kids involved in.
John knows this firsthand.
My three-year-old twins Lachlan and George love helping in the kitchen.
According to John, Supervision is key.
Of course, the art ofcooking with kidsvaries depending on age and skill level.
Ready to get started?
Grab a helper and follow along to bring this campfire classic indoors.
A hand mixer on medium will get the job done in 4-6 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, making sure its well combined after each addition.
Reserve a handful of marshmallows and set aside.
Stir in the remaining marshmallows, chocolate chips and chopped graham crackers to the dough.
Refrigerate the dough for an hour.
Johns tip:Be sure to tear the mini marshmallows in half before incorporating them into the mix.
If you leave them in whole, theyll puff up and explode while baking.
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Leave about two inches of room between each.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Stick it back into the oven for 2-3 minutes to finish baking.
Let the cookies cool on a baking sheet.
If some of the cookies had a marshmallow meltdown, dont fret!
Simply use a knife to scoot any melted marshmallow back in place.
Besides, half the fun of smores is to have a little ooey-gooey fun.
The moisture inside the marshmallow will slowly release over time to prevent your smores cookie from drying out.
it’s possible for you to alsofreeze the cookiesand theyll last for weeks.
We encourage you to do the same with this recipe.
Or better yet, turn them into an ice cream sandwich for the ultimatesummer dessert.
