S'Mores Kiss Cookies


My oldest Hungry Puppy decided that she wanted to do a kitchen project after school.  I was a bit surprised but totally excited because she isn't usually interested in cooking or baking with me.  I let her scroll through my baking "to do" list, and she chose this recipe.  Both of my Hungry Puppies had a blast and were thrilled with the fantastic results.  The cookie base is a hearty oatmeal graham cookie, topped with a marshmallow cream filling and a Hershey's Kiss.  My Hungry Puppies have already asked to make this recipe again!  Original recipe found here.

S'Mores Kiss Cookies

Graham Cookies:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups quick cooking oats
3/4 cup graham flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Marshmallow Filling:
1 container (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
30 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well blended.  Add the quick cooking oats, graham flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Beat together until combined, the dough will be a bit dry.

Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls, roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 8 minutes.  Remove from the oven and using the back of a teaspoon size measuring spoon, press an indentation in the top of each cookie.  Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

For the marshmallow filling, beat together the marshmallow cream shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.  Spoon about a teaspoon of filling into the hollow of each cookie, then press a kiss on top.  Makes about 30 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
