how to make Easy Hershey Kiss S’mores Cookies

Ingredients :

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (1 sleeve of whole graham crackers, crushed)
1 1/4 cups self-rising flour (see AP flour substitution in notes)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 large marshmallows (cut in half)
About 20 chocolate Hershey kisses

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them with non-stick cooking spray.
Using an electric handheld mixer, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and creamy.
Add the graham cracker crumbs and continue mixing until combined. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into smooth, round balls. Place these on the lined baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown.
While the cookies are baking, cut the marshmallows in half using kitchen scissors or a knife. Unwrap the Hershey’s kisses and set them aside on a plate.
Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press a half marshmallow, sticky side down, onto each cookie. Let them cool while you preheat your oven broiler.
Broil the cookies for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are lightly golden brown, watching closely so they don’t burn.
Once broiled to your liking, remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey chocolate kiss on top of each cookie.
Let the cookies cool and then enjoy!
