Chocolate Chip S’mores Sandwich Cookies

By

So I decided to stuff a s’mores filling between two chocolate chip cookies to make it one grand Chocolate Chip S’mores Sandwich Cookie. It’s way over the top, but you guys know I have a tendency to do that sometimes.

Good thing over indulgence is moderated here. I think. If not, well, there’s always hitting the gym a bit harder for balance.

Speaking of being over the top, the photos in the post went from traditional to way off. Every since I became pregnant, I’ve become pickier about everything, especially my photography. I spoke about being easily bored with my styling, so in this post I just decided to go a bit abstract with the idea of milk and cookies. It’s not exactly what I had in mind, but if I spent anymore time re-styling, re-tweaking and reshooting with Matt on this, I’m pretty sure he would have just eaten all the cookies just to be done with this shoot.

But true confession, next best thing to actually having a baby out of this whole pregnancy is turning my husband into a food and photography lover. Love it when two passions collide . . . now I just need him to get his own camera, because fighting over kitchen space sucks enough—we are now splitting shutter time. And let me tell you, natural lighting burns quick when you have two food bloggers in the family.

Chocolate Chip S'mores Sandwich Cookies

Yield: 12-16 servings (1 cookie sandwich per serving)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 16 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Marshmallow filling

  • 5 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

Preparation: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line bake sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Whisk flour and baking soda in a bowl until combined; set aside.
  2. Place 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking and using the handle of pan to swirl the butter around in the skillet. Swirl butter constantly until it becomes a dark golden brown in color and gives off a nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 6 tablespoons of butter into hot butter until completely melted.
  3. Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla to brown butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Add eggs and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds. Rest mixture for 3 minutes, then whisk for another 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny. Using sturdy rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips giving dough final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.
  4. Using a #24 cookie scoop (basically a small ice cream scoop) drop dough onto parchment lined bakesheet. Bake cookies until cookies are golden brown and still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack to cool cookies.

To make marshmallow filling:

  1. Whisk egg whites and sugar in a stand mixer bowl and place it over—not on, (think bain marie) simmering water. Heat mixture to 160 degrees F while whisking constantly.
  2. Transfer mixer bowl to stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium high speed (speed 8 on a KitchenAid stand mixer) until mixture cools, doubles in volume and forms stiff peaks; about 10-12 minutes.

Assembly:

  1. Fit a pastry bag with a 1M tip. Pipe buttercream onto underside of one cookie and place a second on top. Place fully assembled cookie on a fire proof surface and quickly torch filling for a toasted marshmallow finish.

      Thanks Tieghan. I had a lot of fun with conceptualizing these. I get so bored of the same styling.

      And it’s a lot of fun to be blogging with my husband. I love it.

  9. There are so many awesome things about this recipe. Chocolate chip cookies being one of them. Homemade marshmallows being another. And beautiful photos, of course. Pinned. Have a lovely weekend, Naomi!

  10. I love it that Matt is getting involved! Pete just wants to eat. These cookies are incredible Naomi. When does that baby come!??

      Yes, well, I wish Matt ate more of my veggie-heavy savory dishes, but there are so many veggies he can’t eat because his stomach can’t digest it.

      As for the baby, he is coming May 28th! Right around the corner. :)

  11. Absolutely LOVE this shoot! So creative and inventive,but damn that mac keeper pop-up comes up when I’m at work and it’s loud! LOL!

      Ha, you are too kind Belinda! Luckily, I love it, so I’m always striving to improve.

  17. These chocolate chip cookie s’mores definitely outdo the original 😉
    Also, these pictures are so fun! Chaotic – just like making and eating s’mores!

  20. These would be perfect for a backyard BBQ, and they look delicious! I also really love that first photo :)

  21. That first shot makes me swoon. They all do. I’m thinking you really can never be too over the top with desserts, these look incredible!

  22. I probably would have eaten at least 10 of these when I was pregnant this time last year 😉 Love the golden edges of the marshmallow and the splatters of milk.

  24. Hey Naomi. I am so in love with these photos! The spilled milk is just genius. So great that you and your husband can share this passion for food and photography!

  25. haha.. too funny. Ok… true confession. I was on instagram and found one of his first recipes. I thought… “wow.. this photography is way to good to be a new blogger.” So I was inst-stalking him” aka.. looking through his connections and saw that you were on there and making sweet comments. {such a supportive wife} I put two and two together. He is doing an awesome job, but I can’t even imagine splitting time with lighting and camera… a new camera is a must! :) Loved this recipe Naomi and bet is was fun to make a mess with this photo shoot! Pinned the recipe and can’t wait to try!

  26. Naomi- beautiful photography! Love the spilled milk
    In the picture! Can’t wait to try these! Mmmmmmm

    Xo

  27. I adore your work, seriously. These photographs are stunning, as always, and the cookies look fantastic!

  28. Love this! May I ask where you bought those striped paper cups? Those are adorable!

  31. I saw a few of these on Pinterest and instantly knew they were your work! Loving this idea!

  35. How fun to share a kitchen and a camera! Soon you’ll be sharing with the boys. Love the recipe and the photos!

  36. Oh my gosh those photos. The recipe title is enough, but those pics are just making me hungry right after dinner. :) Can’t wait for making s’mores over the summer.

  37. I love these Naomi, and love the styling!

    My Husband has discovered food blogging too, but it’s his camera that gets passed between us as we fight for the last of the natural light in the evening :)

  38. Naomi I tend to read 3-4 posts together on your blog but this is so amazing I’m coming back to it again and again. And to think you used plastic straws, paper plates and glasses!! great styling
