I was reading Kiwi magazine yesterday and came across a recipe for S'more cookies. Being a huge S'more fan I couldn't resist trying these. The recipe wasn't gluten free but I just substituted a gluten free flour blend and gluten free graham crackers it worked like a charm! Took these tasty little morsels to a family gathering tonight and they were a major hit!
Here is the recipe, which by the way, according to the magazine, was created by a 6 year old!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar (I actually used regular sugar and it worked fine)
- 1 1/2 cups butter, slightly softened (or Earth Balance)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups gluten free flour
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 12 gluten free graham crackers, crumbled (it called for 3 regular graham crackers but since the gf ones are so small I used 12)
Directions:
- mix butter and sugar and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes
- add flour, about 1 cup at a time until combined
- using your hands fold in marshmallows, chocolate, & graham cracker crumbs
- place bowl in fridge to chill dough for at least one hour
- preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper
- remove dough from fridge and roll the dough in 1 inch balls
- bake for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly brown
- cool on wire rack
Now the only thing that went wrong was that the marshmallows on the outside of the cookies melted all over the place when cooked. As you can see from my picture some cookies were perfect, some were messy looking. It depended on the placement of the marshmallows. Next time I make these I might actually form the dough around a regular sized marshmallow instead to see if it helps it from oozing out. Either way, they were delicious, I highly recommend them. Nice work 6 year old girl who created this recipe;)
