S’more Cookie Cups

S'mores Cookie Cups

You know, National S’more Day was last week. August 10th, to be exact.

I really wanted to post a timely s’mores recipe, but Kenny and I were away. And not only were we away, but we were also at a hotel hosting the Girl Scouts for National S’more Day. Talk about hitting pay dirt! There were s’more kits and fire pits everywhere.

Now that I’m back, I wanted to pay my respects to what is truly a marvelous holiday. Sorry if I’m a few days late! But these s’mores cookie cups should be worth it. They’re chocolate chip cookies filled and topped with everything you need in a s’more: the chocolate and marshmallow love. I’m excited to have these in the house!

The other day, I had a good belly laugh, and I really needed it. I’m sure you understand. They can be hard to come by, those hearty belly laughs, but they’re the best.

Kenny has this habit of sneezing his way through the first few hours of the morning. Some mornings are more extreme than others, and so I often don’t even notice. When I do, I usually just make sure he doesn’t have a cold before I give him a kiss.

Anyway, the kids and I were sitting at the kitchen table having a peaceful breakfast when Kenny sneezed. He was walking around gathering laundry, and he sneezed again. And again. And again. The poor guy was just on a roll.

For some reason, the kids and I found this to be massively hilarious. I can’t really explain why, but the symphonic sneezing had us in stitches. We laughed until our sides hurt. Well, except for Kenny. He was waiting for one of us to say, “Bless you.” Which we did eventually.

It just felt good to laugh, especially with my children. I have to be the disciplinarian so often, which means that I don’t always have the ability to just burst into laughter. I should do it more often, though, because it’s a quick and easy way to get some therapy.

Do you know what else is quick and easy? Yep, these s’more cookie cups!

I used refrigerated cookie dough. ย It was the gluten-free kind, too. Immaculate Baking makes the best GF cookie dough! The inside is filled with a large piece of Hershey’s chocolate and half a marshmallow, and then the whole thing is topped with the other marshmallow half. Inside the oven, the marshmallow inside melts, but that just makes for more gooey goodness. And that flavor remains!

There’s plenty of time in life to be serious. Sometimes it’s better to let your guard down and be silly. Having an easy treat along the way doesn’t hurt, either. After all, it’s much cheaper than a therapist’s office!

I fulfill many roles in life: wife, mother, teacher, everlasting learner. This site is dedicated to one role that expresses my creativity in ways that I find consistently challenging and rewarding: baker. Inventing new ways to enhance food, especially if that food involves chocolate or peanut butter (or both!), is a passion of mine. I look forward to sharing my ideas with you.

    First of all a good fit of laughter is good for the soul! And I’m sure Kenny didn’t mind being the muse to your laughter. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Second, you hosted the Girl Scouts for National Sโ€™more Day?!

    “sโ€™more kits and fire pits everywhere” and “chocolate chip cookie cups filled and topped with… chocolate and marshmallow” I think I died and stumbled onto your post and invariably dropped into my idea of heaven! GOSH Mir – these S’more cups are insane! And heck yeah – I’m all about letting my “guard down and be(ing) silly” though sometimes, I think I do it a tad too much – oh well – life’s short so here’s to eating dessert in the form of S’more cookie cups and belly laughs! Happy Monday to ya!

    Laughter is indeed the best medicine! ๐Ÿ™‚ But hold up, how did I miss National S’mores Day? And did you really stay at a hotel with a bunch of girl scouts celebrating the aforementioned National S’mores Day? I mean how lucky can you get?? I hope they let you join! Or at least let you graze on some leftovers. I saw the news about the new girl scout s’mores cookies…sounds kinda fun. But not near as fun as these cups! Great idea, Mir!
