Posie Harwood, who finds the best back-of-the-box recipes in the grocery store, turns s'mores into an epic cookie. In the dead of winter, s'mores aren't a popular choice for dessert. The snow is coming and visions of campfires and sunburned skin and toasted marshmallows are pushed far back in our minds to make space for thoughts of sledding and long underwear and hearty soups. But I'm a year-round s'mores kind of person, and these cookies are reason enough that you should be one, too. I've seen versions of s'mores cookies before. They usually involve a riff on a basic chocolate chip recipe with the addition of marshmallows and graham cracker chunks for good measure. But this cookie recipe blows those out of the water. Instead of breaking up the graham crackers, you pulverize them into fine crumbs that get added into the dry ingredients like flour. You add dark chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows. A hefty dose of black cocoa takes the cookies to moist, intense, decadent new heights. For chocolate lovers, this is the cookie to make. I'll warn you that they are very rich, though the marshmallows provide a little respite from all that chocolate. They freeze beautifully, and make a perfect Christmas present if you forgot to buy one and need a last-minute gift. Or just make a batch for yourself: You deserve a present, too! 1 cup miniature marshmallows1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs1/2 cup cocoa powder (I like dark or black cocoa powder for these)1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup butter, softened1/2 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup brown sugar2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks or chips1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut The Food52 Baking Cookbook is here!
