S'MORES-CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE- CUP CAKES:

Stars: 4 outta 4

These are WONDERFUL little desserts!!!  When I heard this recipe from Charlie, I'm gonna be honest, I was driving my car and committed it to memory. No writing it down or asking for specifics. (no distracted driving here! ha ) When I got home I was playing in by (y)ear. See the complicated ingredient list below.

Step 1: Fill muffin tin with cookie dough. Did fill some all the way, some half. Just testing things out. One quick call to Charlie to confirm I was on the right track...had I imagined the muffin tin part of the conversation? That could happen. Again, I didn't write down directions.

 

Step 2 & 3: Add little mini-marshmallows and  graham crackers. Charlie did tell me 2 marshmallows each, but Mr. Charlie (aka Joel) recommended extra marshmallows. So I went crazy there. And ummm, I was spastic and tried putting whole graham crackers on top.

  

Step 4: Final step. Add chocolate squares. Ha, I put big huge pieces because I thought they'd melt and cover the top but I was wrong! Chocolate always seems to melt all over everything in the car but somehow in the oven at 350 it didn't spread out. Weird.

Action shot: While baking @ 350 for 11 minutes.

Fresh from the oven.

 

Final product: Delicious! A true quick & easy recipe. Hahahaaa even though the center's collapsed under the weight of the toppings...they are still amazing! Now that I think about it, I could have should have crumbled the crackers and chocolate. But oh well. I was picturing an actual s'mores so the layered thing was what I was thinking. I would make them and serve them warm when having COMPANY--because I know they'd be a crowd pleaser. But, I'd also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Oh snap. That would be the ticket.

So, I guess this little recipe is going viral!  I got in from Charlie and she got it from Emily over at My Heart Shaped Life. And I think she got it from another fabulous blogger out there in our circle of friends!! WOOHOO!! Who will make this recipe next??

let the cookie making begin!!!

the way to a man's heart.....

the shortcut: These bad boys are just one of God's many gifts to wives who STRIVE to make their home a happy, sweet smelling place for husbands to return to after a long cold day out:) in 10 super fast minutes the house smells better than all the candles I have lit at once--and "homemade" cookies just seem so much more civilized than all the other processed crap I will typically eat all day long. No joke. Don't you all agree?

boy oh boy I love working from home

and taking allllll day to come up with this neat recipe for the world's best cookies!!

ps. I am going to the gym tomorrrow. there. I said it.
