S’mores Cookie Cups

 I first found this recipe last summer and we’ve made it so many times that I figured I better share with you all. They’re so good. Dare I say I like them better than the classic s’more….. no more smelling like fire smoke, no more sticky hands, and no more dirt and sticks 🙂 Well, I suppose these are still a mess because their little hands will still get sticky. But at least you don’t have sticky hands combined with dirt!

Although, my kids would not let me get away with only making these in place of the classic s’more because they love roasting them over the fire. We built a fire pit in our backyard a few summers ago and our favorite thing to do is roast marshmallows and make s’mores during the summer. These little cookie cups take me there; they taste identical and are beyond delicious!

You will then mix up a graham cracker cookie dough and press it into a mini muffin tin. You will have exactly enough dough to fill 24 mini muffin tins full of dough. Be sure and press down the dough so it’s flat on top. You’ll then bake those beauties up and grab yourself a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon and gently press an indent into each cup. Stick a cut marshmallow (sticky side down) in each indent and then let the cookie cups cool completely.

Add a chocolate square on top and then broil them until nice and toasty brown!
