S'more Sandwich Cookies

S’more Sandwich Cookies take the classic campfire flavors of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows and turn them into a fun, handheld dessert.

The dough combines flour and graham cracker crumbs, along with butter, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. The graham crumbs add texture and flavor, while the chocolate chips melt throughout the cookie and pair perfectly with the marshmallow center.

I have issues with most recipes that use "S'mores" in the title.   Melted marshmallows are not the same as toasted marshmallows.  For it to really be a S'more to me, it has to have that toasted (sometimes charred) flavor.

The original recipe calls for microwaving the marshmallows to soften them before sandwiching. Instead, I prefer to toast them under the broiler for a few seconds until golden. That extra step adds the lightly toasted flavor that makes a s’more taste like a true summer treat. A kitchen torch works just as well if you have one.

We totally enjoyed this taste of summer!  Thank you so much to Cynthia at Feeding Big for hosting #FillTheCookieJar! Lots of wonderful, summery recipes being shared this month, go check them out by clicking the links at the bottom of the post.
