As the More is More Mom®, I am all about…..s’more! I mean really, what better way to celebrate summer’s end than with everyone’s favorite, All American, camp-fire dessert? The perfect punctuation to a wonderful family dinner with friends….. S’more cookies!

Chocolate & Toffee S’more Cookies:

These cookies are everything that is good about summer vacation; though to make them requires a little planning ahead. The dough needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, so in the end, they become a slice and bake cookie. What could be easier to manage that that?

This recipe makes 12 large size cookies.

The Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine;

1 ½ cups of flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

In another mixing bowl, combine;

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup shortening

¾ cup sugar

¾ cup brown sugar (I like light)

Mix until nice and fluffy

Beat in;

1 large egg, slightly beaten

2 tsp pure vanilla (imitation is never a form of flattery when it comes to vanilla…)

Mix in;

Flour mixture until the dough starts to come together

Add;

1 - 8 oz package of toffee baking bits

Mix well.
