Ingredients

Here’s the magic of these cookies—the balance of cinnamon-sugar cookie dough, melty chocolate, and toasted marshmallow. Let’s break it down:

Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough

The base of these cookies. A blend of cinnamon, sugar, and soft, buttery dough that creates that irresistible snickerdoodle flavor.

Marshmallows

The gooey, stretchy sweetness that forms the heart of the s’mookie. It adds that quintessential s’mores feeling to each bite.

Chocolate

Rich, melty chocolate that pairs perfectly with the cinnamon-sugar cookie dough and marshmallow. Choose your favorite chocolate bar or use chocolate chips for convenience.

Cinnamon Sugar

A simple but essential component that coats the cookie dough, giving each bite the signature snickerdoodle crunch and flavor.

Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create this flavorful masterpiece:

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and that golden-brown, chewy texture that we all crave.

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.

Shape the Dough

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.

Assemble the S’mookies

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers, then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.

Add the Marshmallow and Chocolate

While the cookies are still soft and warm, place a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow on top of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes, until the marshmallows are melted and slightly toasted.

Cool and Serve

Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before enjoying. The chocolate should be perfectly melted, and the marshmallow will have that irresistible toasty finish.

How to Serve Snickerdoodle S’mookies

These cookies are perfect on their own, but if you want to take your experience to the next level, try pairing them with:

• Vanilla Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the warm, gooey s’mookie perfectly.
• Hot Chocolate: These cookies are ideal for dunking in a mug of rich, creamy hot chocolate.
• Milk: Sometimes, you just can’t beat the classic combo of cookies and milk.
• Fresh Fruit: A side of berries or citrus adds a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the cookies.

Additional Tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get the most out of this recipe:

Prep Ahead

You can prepare the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. This will enhance the flavor and make for quicker baking when you’re ready.

Spice It Up

Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the dough for an extra layer of warmth and depth.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that freshly baked feel.
