Easy to bake chocolate chip s’mores cookies stuffed with a homemade marshmallow and chocolate spread – YUMMY!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So when I say I am obsessed with baking cookies, I am not exaggerating… it’s an absolutely obsession that I don’t think will ever end. And these cookies?! Well they just about top it. <\/p>\n

When I posted my raspberry cheesecake cookies and my banoffee sandwich cookies you guys went absolutely mad for them, so I thought I’d jazz it all up s’mores styley. <\/p>\n

S’mores<\/h3>\n

So according to wikipedia “A s’more is a campfire treat popular in the United States and Canada, consisting of one or more toasted marshmallows and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker.<\/em>” and there it basically means its something utterly delicious. Biscuit, chocolate and marshmallow?! What more could you want?! <\/p>\n

I have a few s’mores based bakes on my blog so far such as my s’mores cookie bars<\/a>, and even my s’mores cake<\/a>, but I wanted to level things up slightly and do a s’mores cookie with a homemade marshmallow stuffed inside. <\/p>\n

It’s obviously not classic s’mores, but it’s the idea behind it of a biscuit, marshmallow and chocolate just levelled up so much and I am utterly in love – and I am sure you will all love these too. <\/p>\n

Cookie dough<\/h3>\n

The cookie dough is a basic chocolate chip cookie that you can get from my NYC chocolate chip cookie recipe, or other cookies on my website. They’re measured with a 5cm scoop to bake to get a consistent size of cookie. You don’t want them too large as you have to sandwich two cookies together and that really would be overload if you used NYC size. <\/p>\n

As you don’t need the giant chunky size of cookie, I don’t chill the cookie dough. I make it, scoop it, and bake it and cool. I just want them to spread ever so slightly to be a good sandwich size. <\/p>\n

Chocolate chips <\/h3>\n

For the chocolate chips I just went for a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips as they are my favourite. I know you don’t need to use chocolate chips in a cookie, but they just bring it up to a new level for me and I can’t help myself. <\/p>\n

You can of course, just like always, use whatever chocolate chips you fancy in this part of the recipe – use milk, white, dark, a mixture or whatever! I don’t judge – you do you, boo. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marshmallow<\/h3>\n

The marshmallow is probably the most important part of this recipe as the cookie is similar to my other cookies, and this is the bit that makes up the s’mores. In my s’mores cookie bars I use marshmallow fluff, which is still very good to use, but I wanted to make a homemade marshmallow this time. <\/p>\n

The quantity this makes can be too much – but it’s harder to make a small amount. You can enjoy it on so many other bakes as well, or just devour it with a spoon which I will also recommend. You can half the recipe, but you just have to be conscious of the fact that the ingredients are such a small amount it may not work perfectly. <\/p>\n

I know it sounds faffy, but it’s worth it. It’s like a marriage of a meringue recipe, and an Italian meringue – make a delicious marshmallow. I have a marshmallow recipe in my first book<\/a> which is completely different and set – this is meant to be piped more like a frosting. <\/p>\n

Using a thermometer<\/a> makes this so much easier and so much more guaranteed to work. Also, electric whisks will absolutely save your arms. You need to whisk the meringue and then continue to whisk it whilst your sugar syrup heats up, and then you need to whisk whisk whisk to make the marshmallow and let it cool slightly. <\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

So in a classic s’more, you have a solid piece of chocolate that melts. In these cookies, you have the chocolate chips already, so I decided to use a chocolate spread to add a softer chocolate element to the s’mores cookies. <\/p>\n

You can use any chocolate spread really – nutella, chocolate, or even go wild and use biscoff – its completely up to you! I don’t mind, and I have tried basically all combinations at this point. I piped my chocolate spread on, but you can of course just slather it. <\/p>\n
