Who doesn't like s'mores cookie muffin cups?!




Woah! I finally have my own baking blog. My sister has been pushing me to make one for MONTHS but I just simply have not had time to do it. But now, school is almost done and a whole summer of baking lays ahead of me, so I figured, why not?!


Well, let me introduce myself before we get into the baking. My name is Rachel Conners. I'm 16 years old and heading into my senior year of high school. SOOO hectic! But I can't wait to graduate! I live in San Diego, California. I was a cheerleader for 9 years, but I actually quit 2 weeks ago. Just...done with it. You understand, right? Obviously, I love to bake. Like..abnormal amounts. There is ALWAYS a treat in my house. Currently sitting in my kitchen is a delicious cornbread (if I do say so myself), a pan of brookies (cookie/brownie bar type things) glazed in chocolate ganache, some chocolate and peanut butter cookies (HOLY YUM), a few Coconut Brigadeiros, and a few left over muffins from when I made my sister a bunch of healthy muffins to bring to her work. And of course, I have my s'mores cookie muffin cups. These delicious cookie cups will be my first recipes on my brand new blog!!!
These little cups of deliciousness are insanely tasty. They have SUCH a rich, intensely chocolate flavor due to the combination of both chocolate chips and cocoa powder. The marshmallows will make the cookies have a little well in the middle, but trust me - those marshmallows create this amazing, sweet chewy cookie that makes you forgive the decent appearance.
I'm pretty excited about this...in case you can't tell...Well enough with the chit-chat, let's get to the recipe. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did :)
s'mores cookie muffin cups

Ingredients:
1 1/2 sticks softened butter (3/4 cup)
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
2 full graham crackers
1 cup mini-marshmallows

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini-muffin pan.
2. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl; set aside. Cream the butter and sugars until well combined and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl. Slowly beat in the eggs one at a time and then add in the vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
3. Fill each mini-muffin tin about 3/4 of the way full (no specified amount because tin-sizes vary). Break up graham crackers into large pieces and put a piece into each muffin tin. Place 3 or 4 mini marshmallows on top of the cookie dough. Bake for 11-15 minutes.
