Chocolate Chip S'mores Cookies
Description
Chocolate Chip S'mores Cookies use cold cubed butter creamed with two sugars to create a rich, tender dough spiked with both chocolate chips and chunks. After baking at a high temperature for a short time, the cookies are decorated while hot with dollops of marshmallow creme, reserved milk chocolate chunks, and small pieces of graham crackers. The marshmallow creme softens and melds with the semi-melted chocolate chunks, adding gooeyness to the chewy, soft cookie. The graham cracker pieces add a pleasant crunch that contrasts with the smooth chocolate and fluffy marshmallow topping.
The method requires careful timing, adding marshmallow and toppings immediately upon removal from the oven to achieve the desired texture blend. The cookie texture balances tender crumb with slight chewiness due to the mix of brown and granulated sugars and cornstarch. This recipe emphasizes a playful combination of textures and flavors reminiscent of the classic s'mores dessert.
Serve these cookies slightly cooled to allow the topping to set yet remain soft. They work well as a warm treat for gatherings or an indulgent snack. Thanks to the topping technique, the cookies have a distinctive layered texture: soft cookie base, creamy marshmallow, melty chocolate, and crunchy cracker.
For those interested in homemade marshmallow fluff, a linked recipe provides a do-it-yourself alternative. The cookies set up sufficiently within about 10 minutes after baking and topping, allowing for easy handling and serving.
