There’s nothing like the smell of freshly baked cookies, and these S’Mores cookies are a fun take on a much loved camping favourite. Be prepared to see these cookies disappear before your eyes, these moreish morsels are made to be devoured.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup soft brown sugar

  • ¼ cup caster sugar

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ¾ cup plain flour

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped into chunks

  • 20 marshmallows, or 10 halved large marshmallows

Method

  1. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars. Once light and creamy, add the egg and vanilla, and mix until fully incorporated.

  2. Add the flour, salt and baking soda to the butter mixture. Use a wooden spoon to mix until a soft dough forms, then fold through the chopped chocolate.

  3. Take 2 heaped tablespoons of cookie dough, and press it around 1 marshmallow while keeping the top of the marshmallow exposed. Place onto a lined tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Place into the fridge to chill for 30-45 minutes or until firm.

  4. Preheat oven to 170 degrees celsius, fan bake. Arrange the cookies on a lined baking tray with at least 10cm space between each cookie, as they with flatten with baking.

  5. Place into the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges. Leave to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  6. Optional step: to get a toasted marshmallow flavour, use a blowtorch to toast the marshmallow top on the baked cookie.
