S’mores Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
3/4 cup Cake Flour
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
8 Tbsp. butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 sheets graham crackers, crushed
4.4 oz. Hershey Chocolate Bar, broken into chunks
1/2 cup chocolate chips, milk or semi sweet
small marshmallows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Place the butter into the bowl, using a mixer cream the butter for about 30 seconds then add in both sugars and blend until incorporated and creamy.
Then add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Blend until mixed. If any of the mixture gets stuck on the beaters or side of the bowl use a rubber spatula to knock it off.
On low speed, gradually add in the dry ingredients. I add in about ¼ cup at a time.
Individually add in graham crackers, Hershey's chocolate, chocolate chips, and marshmallows until incorporated.
Decorate cookies with graham cracker pieces and chocolate chunks if desired. On a sheet pan coated with parchment paper bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let cool.
