Hi and a huge welcome to Steve's kitchen it's a new series we're starting called
Tuesday Chooseday where you help me choose what I'm going to do now
You haven't had an opportunity to yet so I'm going to choose and we're doing a
giant S'mores cookie
The idea of this series is that you come up with some fun ideas
share them with me on social media and if they are outstanding
we're going to give them a go. Just this last week in the USA I was served this
huge s'mores cookie with sort of marshmallow and hershey's chocolate on
it.
It was so good I'm going to share the recipe with you. Now
come on, in a mixing bowl we just put half a cup of granulated sugar, 1/3rd a
cup of soft brown sugar that's packed in there and then add into that six
tablespoons of softened butter and the beauty of this dish is we really don't
need any mixing equipment other than a wooden spoon
I'm just going to cream together the butter and the sugar. Now when that's
creamed together we're just going to take a teaspoon of vanilla extract
pop that in and then we're going to take one fresh egg and then I'm just going to
beat these together and you're going to have this beautiful smooth batter, into that
we're going to add one cup of all-purpose flour. Now spoon it in so you
don't compact it in
add that to our batter, into that a half a teaspoon of baking soda and because I
use salted butter I'm just going to go for quarter teaspoon of salt
if you use unsalted butter go for half a teaspoon of salt and let's mix it up
until we've got a nice thick dough. Now I want big chunks of chocolate in here so
I've gone for these hershey nuggets It means that you've got a big lump of
chocolate like that a little bit too big but I'm just going to cut these up
smaller you can go for regular chocolate chips try and get the biggest size that
you can find
overall we want about half a cup of chocolate so I'm just going to use a
knife and just chunk this up to about that sort of size
Now I have no idea why this little fellow was too hard to cut
oh well.... so with all that chocolate in my mouth
I'm going to pop
the rest of the chocolate in there give the cookie dough a mix through. Now use
about half a cup of chocolate chips in there
I'm going to be using more on top a little bit later on but in the meantime we have
a 9-inch round baking tin lined it with a little bit of wax paper
I'm going to spoon my cookie dough into the center and then just even that flat
even the cookie dough down into the tin
you don't have to be too precious because it'll flatten as it bakes and
we're going to bake this at 350 Fahrenheit that's about 175 Celsius for about 15 to
20 minutes just looking to get a nice even golden brown
so I've just taken that cookie out of the oven
this would be delicious as it is but we're going to turn this into a S'mores
cookie
so what I'm going to do is I've got some graham crackers here we just want to
break these up and just crumble them over the top
so I'm going to take two of these large cookies I have another third of a cup of
those chocolate chunks that I just cut up and I'm going to sprinkle those sort
of randomly over the top and of course you can't have smores without
marshmallows so I'm just going to pour quite a lot of these mini marshmallows
over the top of my cookie
and bear in mind they're going to puff up as they bake some more of those
crushed graham crackers just over the top nice and rough and then over the top
we're just going to crumb some more of those chocolate chips or chocolate
chunks on there now how does that look
now we're just going to pop this back in the oven for about five minutes or so
just to let that chocolate melt, for the marshmallows to get beautiful and
toasted. Come in close here take a look at that beautiful S'mores chocolate chip
cookie
now iIhope you like this Tuesday Chooseday special and the room is smelling of
s'mores and chocolate chip cookies
now you could eat this hot I'm going to let it cool down a little bit before I give it a try
So come back in a second. Look
at that beautiful s'mores chocolate chip cookie
it is absolutely huge I cannot eat it like this I'm going to pop it down here
and I'm going to slice myself a piece a little bit like a pizza through the nice
chewy cookie base oh yum! through all that wonderful look as I expected
sticking to the marshmallow
we've got all that small beautiful chocolaty goodness I'm going to give
this a try, look at that beautiful cookie all that
sticky s'mores topping
