S'mores Stackers

Summer time seems synonymous with being outdoors and eating s'mores to me.  A campfire isn't always readily available but recreating the flavors is easy with these cookies.  They are basically a chocolate chip cookie with graham cracker crumbs added. While the cookies are still warm I spread them with some Marshmallow Fluff and sandwich two of them along with half a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar. Yummm! Today I want to wish a very Happy 13th Birthday to our Luke! Love you!


Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 T vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 cups Mini Hershey’s Kisses (or chocolate chips)
7 oz. jar Marshmallow Fluff
Hershey Bars broken in half

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Add the chocolate and stir to combine.

Place large sized scoops (3 T) of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool for 5 minutes and then turn over and place half of a Hershey's Bar on half of the cookies. Scoop a tablespoon of marshmallow fluff on top of the chocolate and top with a second cookie.
