So, I’m pretty sure someone spilled molasses into my week while making their holiday cookies because the past few days have moved sooo sloooow. It’s like in Home Alone when Kevin uses his Talkboy to make that realllllyyy slow voice. “Credit caaaard? Youuu gotttt itttt!” Can you tell my mind is in holiday mode?
Lucky for me (and you) I’ve got just the thing to speed things up a bit… because sugar cures all… s’mores mini cookie cups!
I don’t know about you, but if I smell or see s’mores, I’ll come running. OK, maybe that’s not fair, since I voluntarily go running at 5am without the promise of anything sweet. But I think you get what I’m saying. Like, I would eat cheesecake for breakfast if you told me I could eat s’mores for lunch. And I do not like cheesecake. Bleh.
I think it’s the marshmallows and grahams in s’mores that get me. Seriously, I know you’re going to disagree, but I’d be completely content with chocolate-less s’mores. Meeeelllttyyyy marshmallows. Oh, that reminds me of these. Is it summer yet?
When I randomly decided to make a bunch of Christmas cookies in a row and blog about them, I made a list of different cookies to make. That list was incredibly long with lots of cookies that ultimately were not made (in due time, my friends), but one I was sure to make happen was a s’mores cookie. I browsed through Pinterest for inspiration and ultimately decided to go with a super-graham-y cookie with marshmallows mixed in, and a chocolate square on top. And because I am obsessed with my mini muffin tin lately, I made them into little cookie cups. All in favor of a mini cookie cup trend in 2012, say I!
Buttery graham cracker cookie cups with marshmallows and milk chocolate. Like all s’mores, these little cups are best served warm! Makes 5 dozen Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes per muffin tin Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin lightly with non-stick cooking spray (or line with paper liners). In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until mixed. In the same bowl, add the baking powder and salt and beat until mixed. Gradually add the flour and graham cracker crumbs, beating on medium speed until mixed well. Stir in the mini marshmallows. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then press each ball into an ungreased mini muffin cup pan. Bake 8 minutes, then remove from oven and press one chocolate square into each cookie cup. Bake 2 to 3 more minutes, or until chocolate is melty. Allow the cookie cups to cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely (or eat while they’re still warm!).

These look incredible! I have been loving your series – can’t believe how awesome each recipe is, each day gets better than the last day!!!!
Haha, I’m glad you think so! I saved a pretty traditional one for last (tomorrow) though!
I want to dive head first into these cups!
Oh Yum! I love EVERYTHING S’mores! Great idea to add the mallows and crumbs into the batter. NEver thought about doing that.
Yep – the graham cracker crumbs basically took the place of a lot of the flour – worked out great!

Hi Liz,
I found these on Pinterest and made them for my fiance’s birthday, he loved them!
My blog post about it is here: http://alohayinzmangia.blogspot.com/2012/04/smore-birthday-fun-bryces-27th.html
Thanks for the great idea, I always love your stuff!

Aw, glad you guys like them, Angela! I’ll check out your post, thanks for sharing.
I love these and made them one before, do you know what the high altitude change would be so my cookies don’t fall? Either way they are delicious!
Hi Jennifer, I am not sure about altitude change, but I just found this nifty little chart… http://www.highaltitudebaking.com/adj_recipes.htm
Tried to.make these tonight. The marshmallow couldn’t take heat. I ended up with exploded popover looking blobs. Any idea?
Hi Carolyn, I’m sorry it took me so long to reply, somehow I missed this! Hmm, I’m not sure what would have caused the marshmallows to explode. Maybe try filling the cookie cups less?
I have made these for friends and family. Everyone has loved them! One friend and her husband decided they should be the next new Girl Scout cookie!
I’ll campaign for these to be the next Girl Scout cookie if you and your friend/husband help me!
