After a lot of requests, I finally have a S’mores recipe to share with you guys. I mentioned on Sunday that I’ve been testing out new ideas for a fun spin on S’mores. I had about five different concepts in mind, but after a string of group texts with our HBH team, the decision was easy…skillet cookie all the way. BUT with the addition of “S’mores” and with double the chocolate. I didn’t disagree, you can almost never go wrong with anything baked in a skillet…nor anything involving cookie dough. And you most definitely can’t go wrong by doubling the chocolate. So, I started testing recipes, and here we are now. I have a giant S’mores cookie to share and just in time for the weekend too! Perfect!
The Story.
This recipe doesn’t really have much of a story, but basically I was scrolling through HBH the other week and it dawned on me that I really haven’t shared many S’mores recipes. Why is that? Well, two reasons. First and foremost a S’more is a S’more. It’s just a classic that doesn’t really need to be messed with. It’s delicious just as is…graham crackers + toasty marshmallows that are close to being burnt on the outside, but melty and gooey inside. And of course, Hershey’s milk chocolate bars. YUMM! It’s hard to not love that combination…it’s a summertime campfire classic. Because of this, I haven’t been overly excited to create a new S’mores recipes. Question: When it comes to the classic bonfire S’more, how do you like your mallows? I am the girl that needs it basically burnt all over.
Now, reason number two. I will not lie or sugar coat it, marshmallows weird me out. The only two things I really use marshmallows for are a classic S’more and classic Rice Krispie Treats. I know that’s weird, but for the most part, marshmallows are not for me. Of course, I do make exceptions (did you see December’s snowman hot cocoa?), but they’re not my very, very favorite. All that said, I still love a S’more (and a Rice Krispie treat….which really has me thinking, I need to make some, it’s been a long time). Plus, it’s summer, so it is high S’more season. Which (finally) brings me to my skillet cookie. I wanted a recipe that was simple, not crazy over the top, and would really highlight the classic S’more. But yet also give it a fun new twist. So ooey, gooey, skillet cookie it is.
Here are all the details.
Gather your ingredients. You’ll need the basics…butter, sugar, flour, etc. Then you’ll need, those classic S’more ingredients…graham crackers, marshmallows (mallows as I like to call them), and Hershey’s milk chocolate bars. Simple, nothing fancy at all, but all good. Next, beat, mix, stir, spread stuff, cover, bake, eat warm – and enjoy!
My notes and tips.
First, I used my classic dough recipe which uses more brown sugar than white sugar. I did change the amount of sugar since marshmallows and milk chocolate are pretty sweet. If you love a sweeter cookie, you might want to adjust the sugar amounts slightly, but I don’t personally think that’s needed. Once the dough is made, spread about a third of it into the bottom of an oven-safe skillet. You know I love using my Staub skillet but any oven-safe skillet will work. If you don’t have a skillet, a regular baking dish works too. But you might want to undercook the cookie to get that same gooey effect the skillet will give you. Once you have some of the dough in the skillet, layer in the graham crackers, mallows, and Hershey bars. Add the remaining dough, then top with a few extra chocolate chunks. Bake. Wait patiently by the oven. I like to bake for exactly nineteen minutes. But I like my cookie doughy in the center with puddles of melted chocolate and not one bit over-baked. For a more set cookie, bake closer to twenty to twenty-five minutes. Now pull em out, smell the deliciousness, and watch those mallows bubble up…mouthwatering. Cheesy to say, I know, but really you’re going to be dying to enjoy this as soon as you pull the skillet out of the oven.
How do you serve this S’more skillet cookie?
Warm, right out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream and a spoon…or maybe several spoons. This is a dessert that’s meant for sharing with family and friends. It’s really the only way to do it, and it’s perfect for summer nights in the backyard. I know it is decadent, but it’s summer, late summer actually. So live it up and enjoy these laid back nights with a S’more skillet cookie. It’s going to be delicious…
