S'mores Blossom Cookies
Description
The S'mores Blossom Cookies recipe uses a graham cracker crumb coating mixed with melted butter to envelop cookie dough made from soft butter, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and more graham cracker crumbs. All-purpose flour with baking powder, soda, and salt provides structure. Dough is rolled into 1 ½-inch balls, coated heavily with the graham cracker mixture, and spaced on parchment-lined sheets to bake at 350°F. Baking one sheet at a time until edges crack ensures even cooking with a tender interior.
After initial baking and cooling, halved marshmallows and unwrapped chocolate kisses are placed atop the cookies and browned under the broiler to mimic the toasted, gooey characteristics of traditional s'mores. This final step adds a pleasant contrast of melted chocolate and warm, sticky marshmallow topping against a slightly crisp cookie base with visible cracks.
The completed cookies combine rich buttery sweetness, the crunch of graham cracker crumbs, and the classic flavor pairing of chocolate and marshmallow, offering a dessert reminiscent of campfire s'mores in an easy-to-eat cookie form.
Ingredients
For the graham cracker coating:
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
For the cookies:
- 8 tablespoons butter very soft
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs from about 8 whole graham crackers (divided, finely crushed
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 12 marshmallow halved crosswise, regular size
- 24 chocolate kisses unwrapped, Hershey's brand
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside
- For the graham cracker coating, place ½ cup graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a shallow dish. Stir until combined. Set aside.
- With a whisk, wooden spoon or sturdy spatula, stir together soft butter and sugar in a medium-large bowl for 1 minute until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and stir until completely incorporated.
- Add ½ cup graham cracker crumbs and stir well to combine.
- Sprinkle flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt evenly over the top of the butter mixture and stir until all flour is incorporated.
- Working with 1 ½ tablespoons of dough at a time, roll into 1 ½-inch balls. Toss dough balls in the prepared graham cracker crumb mixture to coat. Space them evenly on prepared sheets, 12 per sheet.
- Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until just set and beginning to crack on sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes.
- 4. Adjust oven rack 10 inches below broiler element and heat broiler to high. Place one marshmallow half, cut side down, in center of each cookie. Broil cookies, one sheet at a time, until marshmallows are deep golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds, rotating halfway through for even browning, if needed.
- Immediately place one Hershey Kiss in the center of each marshmallow, pressing down lightly. Repeat with remaining cookies, marshmallows, and Kisses. Let cookies cool slightly before serving (if you can stand it).
