Birthday Cake S’mores Cookies

by Erin

I don’t shop very often these days due to financial constraints the past two months, but the most recent excursions I have had resulted in the purchase of primarily navy blue and coral colored items. I cannot explain this gravitation as I am not doing do on purpose. Yet I have actually experienced this many times before where I find myself standing in the checkout line with a handful of similarly colored items. I suppose my brain just gets stuck on one color when looking around it only allows me to see that color.

And then when it comes to food, I am all over the place most of the time. Take cake batter for example. I’ve combined cake batter with all kinds of things, including peanut butter, but today is the first time I’ve paired it up with s’mores and I think they compliment each other quite well. These cookies have a cake batter cookie dough base with chocolate, miniature marshmallow bits, and grahams cracker pieces mixed in. And more sprinkles. Because why have just cake batter or just s’mores when you can have both!?

“why just have cake batter or s’mores when you can have both” – exactly. I need to live by this rule.

Thanks for the shoutout here and on Twitter! Your cookies look awesome, Erin!

I love putting graham crackers (and sprinkles!) in cookies. I have another graham cracker cookie coming next week. But I need one of yours right now :)

I seriously love your creations – what could possibly be better than s’mores and funfetti combined in one treat?? I’d kill for one of these cookies to show up at my house for dessert tonight.

Awww thanks! You and I should set up a baking trade. Every month we send each other a box full of two or three of each baked item (ex: 2 or three of these cookies) we made throughout the month.

YERSHHHH. I’m all about this.

I totally have bouts where I gravitate towards similar colors. I’m so broke I never shop either *sigh*

I have come to the conclusion that anything S’mores is that much better. Cannot imagine these would be anything but wonderful!
