Tonight I finally got around to making the S’Mores Chocolate Chunk Cookies that have been on my mind for the past week. I bought marshmallows to make a marshmallow coffee syrup which by the way went so horribly wrong. I made the syrup and then put it in a jar in the fridge and the next day it had solidified into a gloopy sugary slime monster and I instantly threw it away. Thanks to that syrup failure, I now had marshmallows in the house which meant I was one step closer to having the ingredients needed to make the next cookie on my list. After acquiring graham crackers I was all set to get baking. All I had to do was find a day where I had the energy and time to bake amidst job hunting, quitting a job, and working out the details of a new job offer. The hardest days are when I want cookies the most and yet they are also the days I struggle to rally myself off the couch.
Tonight, thanks to a splitting headache due to stress and lack of water, I was unable to scroll on tiktok any longer and it was finally cookie time.
These cookies came together really easily and quickly and overall they went pretty well. Of course, as I was sliding the tray of cookies into the oven, I saw a note on the recipe that said they used dehydrated marshmallows and specifically: “Do not use regular miniature marshmallows in this recipe. They will melt and burn”. Well joke’s on them because I didn’t use regular miniature marshmallows, I used regular full sized marshmallows cut up into small pieces. Because OF COURSE I used regular ones, who would think otherwise?! They should really put that note in bold at the top of the recipe if they want anyone to read it.
Notes:
The recipe says to use dehydrated mini marshmallows (like the ones found in hot chocolate packets) but if you use regular ones they actually turn out ok. Some of the marshmallow chunks did melt but they sort of caramelized and I didn’t mind it.
This cookie might be more s’mores flavored if you increased the graham cracker crumbs and decreased the chocolate (by a quarter or maybe even half).
Overall, this is a good cookie but it just tastes like a good chocolate chip cookie. If I was blindfolded I’m not sure I ever would have guessed that the intended flavor was s’mores. If you already have marshmallows and graham crackers, go for it, but I wouldn’t venture out of my way to get the necessary ingredients in order to make them.
Overall: 2.5/5
Texture: 4/5
Flavor: 2/5 (lacking s’mores flavor)
