How to Make Peanut Butter Choc Chip S’mores

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Let’s get things heating up! Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This step is vital for ensuring your Peanut Butter Choc Chip S’mores bake evenly. While your oven warms up, you can start gathering the rest of your ingredients. The sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies will fill your kitchen in no time!

Step 2: Mix Ingredients

Now it’s time to get mixing! In your stand mixer bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, the large egg, and vanilla extract. Mix them together until you have a smooth, cohesive mixture. Don’t forget to gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. This ensures you have delightful pockets of chocolate in every bite, enhancing these s’mores even further!

Step 3: Form Cookies

Let’s shape those cookies! Portion out approximately 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Roll the dough into balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Make sure to flatten each ball slightly and leave about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space between them. This will allow the cookies to spread as they bake!

Step 4: Bake Cookies

Time to bake! Pop your baking sheet into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the edges turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking. Once done, allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet; this prevents melting the chocolate later on!

Step 5: Assemble S’mores

Here comes the fun part—assembly! Place nine cookies upside down on a clean surface. Top each cookie with a square of dark chocolate, then roast your large marshmallows until they’re golden and oozy, just the way you like them. Place a roasted marshmallow on top of the chocolate and cover with another cookie, pressing down gently to form your delicious s’more. Now you’re ready to enjoy!

Tips for Success

Make sure to let your cookies cool completely; this helps maintain the chocolate’s shape during assembly.
For a gourmet touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the marshmallow.

If you prefer a richer flavor, feel free to swap in dark chocolate chips for the semi-sweet ones.
Use a kitchen torch for perfectly roasted marshmallows if you have one; it’s a fun way to impress your family!

Equipment Needed

Stand mixer: A handy tool for mixing, but a large bowl and whisk work just as well!

Baking sheet: Any flat, oven-safe tray will do for baking your cookies.
Parchment paper: For easy cleanup, but greasing the pan is a great alternative.
Measuring spoons: Essential for portioning, or just use your eyes for a more relaxed approach!

Variations on Peanut Butter Choc Chip S’mores

Nut-Free Option: Substitute the creamy peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free treat that’s just as delicious!
Gluten-Free Alternative: Use gluten-free peanut butter cookies to make this a safe option for gluten-sensitive pals.
Flavor Boost: Add a dash of cinnamon to the cookie dough for a warm spice twist that complements the peanut butter wonderfully.

Fun Mix-Ins: Toss in some crushed graham crackers or toffee bits with the chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
Vegan Version: Replace the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly delight!

Serving Suggestions for Peanut Butter Choc Chip S’mores

Pair with Milk: A cold glass of milk is always a classic! It complements the sweetness perfectly.

Hot Chocolate: For a cozy twist, serve alongside a warm mug of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.
Decorative Platter: Arrange your s’mores on a pretty platter, garnished with berries or mint leaves for a vibrant touch.
