GOOEY S'MORE COOKIES: A MOUTHWATERING TWIST ON CLASSIC S'MORES

‍

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (16 oz) Nestlé cookie dough
• 12 graham cracker squares
• 12 large marshmallows
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preparing the Base:

To kick off this delightful recipe, preheat your oven to 325ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure easy cleanup and prevent the cookies from sticking.

Building the S'mores:

Take your graham cracker squares and arrange 4 to 6 of them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space in between. Next, generously sprinkle some chocolate chips onto each graham cracker square, followed by placing a fluffy marshmallow on top.

Shaping the Cookie Dough:

It's time to bring the Nestlé cookie dough into the picture! Using your hands, shape the dough into 10 to 12 equally-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate. Pop the dough balls in the refrigerator and let them chill for approximately 30 minutes to an hour. This step will help the cookies retain their shape during baking. (if the cookies are cold/cool, placing the cookies in the fridge is optional)

Assembling the S'mores Cookies:

Once the dough has chilled, take each cookie dough ball and gently flatten it. Carefully place it over the marshmallow, ensuring the dough envelops the marshmallow and chocolate. Don't worry about perfection; the joy lies in the deliciously imperfect combination of flavors and textures!

Freezing and Baking:

For that perfect cookie texture, freeze the assembled s'mores cookies until they become mostly solid. This typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 13 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a glorious golden brown.

Final Touches:

As soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, use a spatula to gently press down the puffed marshmallow. Be cautious, as the marshmallow may be sticky! Repeat the baking process with the remaining s'mores cookies and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
