Mini S Mores Cookie Cups

I made these three times to get the perfect cookie base and I think it’s safe to say I couldn’t make them any better! I learned a few things along the way, like for instance if you let the cookie batter rest for 5 minute before baking the cookies shouldn’t collapse as much, if at all, in the center once removed from the oven (so they had a better structure. If they do fall a little it’s not big deal at all because they are covered with marshmallows) and they didn’t seem quite as greasy. Still perfectly buttery and moist but the little bit of resting time I think allows for the graham cracker to absorb some of the butter before they bake so it doesn’t start out an over-buttery batter (if that makes sense).

More Tips for This Recipe

Another thing I recommend are cutting the marshmallows while the cookie cups bake so they don’t dry (if you are in a dry climate, not before then), and unwrapping the Kisses while the cookies bake to make the most of your time and so they are ready to go because you do need to add these quickly before the marshmallows start to set again. I also learned you need to be careful not to over-bake these or they will dry and you won’t get that nice, chewy cookie base. And on that same dry note if you add too much flour they could end up dry, so I recommend using a scale if you have one (if not just be careful not to pack in the flour when measuring. I use the scoop and sweep method but don’t jam it into the cup. A brisk scoop and level with a butter knife).

These really are just a little bite of Heaven! Everyone wanted more, because obviously you can’t stop at just one. I know when the next party rolls around this will be the treat I want to bring along no doubt! They are a treat people of all ages will instantly fall in love with! They are the perfect treat year round and they’d also be a delicious addition to a Christmas cookie tray.
