Day 5: Chewy S’mores Cookies

December 10, 2012 by kim 3 Comments

Day 5 of my 12 days of cookies: Chewy S’mores Cookies. Ah, yes… another version of s’mores cookies to add to my ever growing list. There’s the bar version, the plain version, the decadent version, and the s’mores with the cookie dough added in.

This cookie recipe uses those little marshmallows that you add into hot chocolate rather than your usual soft mini marshmallows that you use for making rice crispies. I’m such a sucker for those hot chocolate marshmallows. I’ll fill half of my cup with them before adding the hot chocolate. It’s a tad ridiculous.

They’re actually the most perfect ingredient to use for cookies since they won’t burn right away and hold their shape. They don’t melt, either, which could be a pro or con for some.

I’ll take my s’mores any way I can have it, thank you very much.

Day 4: Almond Snowballs

Day 4 of my 12 days of cookies: almond snowballs. This is probably the most traditional any cookie on my list is going to get for the holidays. Do you have any cookies that you always make for Christmas?

Although I’m usually a fan of chewy, soft, plain cookies, this cookie knocked my socks off. Maybe the powdered sugar coating did me in. Maybe it was the feeling of having a bite literally melt in your mouth. Either way, I’m a fan.

These are surprisingly light. I can picture them on a dainty floral stand at a tea party. Yes… these would be the perfect tea party cookies!

Just because these cookies are crumbly doesn’t mean that they’re hard. They’re actually a soft crumbly, if that makes any sense.

Day 3: York Peppermint Pieces Cookies

Day 3 of my 12 days of cookies: York Peppermint Pieces Cookies. I’ve always seen those cute little packages at Target of candy pieces (Reeses, Almond Joy, Hershey’s Special Dark, etc.), but I never bothered to buy any because I’m so used to the original form of the candies.

Then, on a flight that I was working, a passenger gave us a bag of these York Pieces. YUM! Of course, the people I was working with wanted nothing to do with the candy (we get a lot of treats and apparently everyone’s watching their figure), so I gladly took the bag for myself.

The first thing I think of when I get candy is, “Can I bake this into something?” The hard shells remind me of M&M’s, so naturally, the candies went into a cookie.

… and what a mighty fine cookie that was. It should be a crime for cookies to look this pretty. Just look at the crinkly top, the beautiful clash in colors, the perfect circle shape (I didn’t even use a cookie scoop!), and the uniformity of thickness in each cookie. You’re lucky to get one of those characteristics in a cookie, but all four?! Impossible… Or so I thought.

The dark chocolate cocoa powder that I used goes great with the minty flavor. Dark chocolate and mint go together like peanut butter and jelly. They just belong.
