After been married for 10 years and having 5 kids, I finally decided I needed to become a better cook. I was sick of making the same old thing all the time and being afraid to try new recipes. I'm still not a pro but I'm getting better every day. My goal is to be able to make my own recipes up and just be able to throw things together and it taste good. For now I'm just finding YUMMY recipes through blogs and recipe books and I thought making a blog with all my favourites would be fun. So, ENJOY!

S'mores Cookies

A couple of months ago life kind of took a crazy shift and my life kind of turned up side down. After being a bit of a wreck I've finally started to get my life back in order. When I started this blog I was always checking other food blogs to give me ideas but due to my crazy life I stopped checking blogs altogether. When I started to check blogs again I saw this recipe and knew I had to try it. I've been waiting for the right time to try it and tonight was that night. I had all the ingredients which was step one and the next step was going to our RS BBQ where I could take this delicious goodness. I just started another biggest loser contest so I'm trying to eat really well but I couldn't resist these yummies. I had half a piece and quite honestly could have eaten the whole tray. I really love the blog I got this recipe from, I use it a lot, she has TONS of super good recipes so check her out :)11 T. butter, softened (I used margarine)
1 c. brown sugar, packed
½ c. sugar
2 lg. eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 ½ c. flour
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. mini marshmallows
3 regular sized Hershey’s bars, broken into pieces (I used about 4 1/2 bars)
1-2 packages graham crackers, broken into squares

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and set aside. Cream butter, brown sugar and sugar in mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixer and combine on low speed. Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Chill dough in refrigerator for 1 hour to overnight. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line baking pans with parchment paper. I used one 11x16 pan and one 9x13 pan. Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching). I used 24 graham cracker squares on one pan and 12 squares on another but it all depends how much dough you use. Place a scoop of dough in the center of each graham cracker. Press down slightly with fingertips. Bake for 5 minutes then remove from oven. Press a chocolate piece on top of each piece of cookie dough. Bake for another 5–7 minutes or until dough is beginning to turn golden brown at the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool and then ENJOY :)
