Gooey S'mores Cookies

I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it sounded like it would be a good treat.  I finally got around to writing the ingredients on my shopping list and actually making them. 
1/2 cup butter (1 full stick) softened
1/2 cup sugar (I use raw sugar)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 1/3 cups flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7 full sheets)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Mini Hershey's Kisses (or chocolate chips/chunks, I personally only found mini semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 cup Jet Puffed Mallow Bits (I found these in the hot chocolate area of Walmart, NOT the marshmallow aisle, fyi)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.  Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.  

Meanwhile, use a food processor or blender to crush 7 graham cracker sheets into 3/4 cup fine crumbs.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together.  Add the chocolate and marshmallows and stir to combine.

Place 1.5 tablespoon sized scoops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.



I made a double batch, so your's may not look like this much in the bowl.
Finished product!
