Valentine’s Day Smores Cookies

Smores Cookie Recipe

Only 4 more days until Valentine’s Day! Tell someone “I love you (s)more” with the world’s easiest, and arguably tastiest cookie recipe. This is the EASIEST cookie you’ll make. EVER. (So get excited!)  

Yes, the last Valentine’s Cookie Recipe I posted (Valentine’s Day Cool Whip Cookies) is also very easy to make. But, believe it or not, this one is easier! As long as you’re able to stack your ingredients and turn on an oven (and have enough will power to not eat all of the ingredients while you’re preparing to cook) you should be fine! 

You only need 3 ingredients: marshmallow’s, graham crackers, and chocolate.

If you’re wondering how I made the marshmallow’s heart shaped, I’ll let you in on a little secret- I bought them them this way! It’s true! Jet-Puffed makes the cutest baby pink heart shaped Marshmallow’s, which I found at Target

I used Honey Maid Fresh Stacks graham crackers. These are AWESOME! They’re packaged as individual squares… you don’t even have to break the graham cracker in half! I told you this recipe was easy!!!

I’m an old fashioned gal, so I couldn’t resist using Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. Buy a King Size chocolate bar (or two or three) depending on how many Smore’s you’re planning on making. I broke the chocolate bar into squares made of two “pieces” each. I used one square per Smore. (If you really wanted to, I’m sure you could find a pre-packaged Hershey’s bar portioned out correctly for you). Anyways, one King Size Hershey’s Bar will make 8 Smores Cookies, so plan accordingly. 

To cook this masterpiece, all you have to do is assemble your Smore in this order: (from bottom to top) graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow.

Arrange cookies on a cookie sheet or wire cooling rack.

Turn the oven on broil. When warm, place cookies in oven for 2.5 – 3 minutes. This is just enough time to get them nice and brown without burning them or catching them on fire.

When finished, remove and enjoy! You can eat these cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container to enjoy for a few days. The magic of this recipe is that they’re still just as delicious a few days later compared to when they’re fresh out of the oven!

These cookies are so light and fluffy. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you pick one up and bite into it! Wanna know why? Well, these cookies are made with Cool Whip, strawberry cake mix, 2 eggs, and some festive holiday sprinkles. You don’t believe me? See ingredients pictured below:

It’s true! All you have to do is combine the cool whip and the eggs. Once they’re completely combined add in one box of strawberry cake mix and as many sprinkles as your heart desires. 

The cookie batter should be thick and sticky once everything is mixed. Place it in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before continuing on. This is a necessary step, so don’t skip it!

After your batter is chilled pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F, wrap a cookie sheet in foil, and and pour some powdered sugar in a small bowl. You will dip each cookie in the powdered sugar before placing it on the cookie sheet to bake. This is my favorite part of the recipe and gives each cookie just the right amount of sweetness it needs!

Scoop the dough out with a spoon or scoop. As you can tell from the pictures below, I used an ice cream scoop. Roll the dough into balls and roll around in powdered sugar, completely covering the entire ball of dough. When covered, place on to your cookie sheet and repeat until the cookie sheet is full. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie, these sweets grow in the oven.

 Let the cookies bake for about 10 – 12 minutes. Obviously, larger cookies will take longer to make, so scoop accordingly! When finished, set aside to cook an dig in!
