We Energies
Cookie Book recipes are perfect for celebrations of all kinds. No matter the
occasion, you’ll find a recipe that’s just right.
Summer is officially here! What better way to celebrate than with a classic summertime treat, s’mores?
The original recipe for this all-American dessert was first published in 1927
as “Some Mores” by master campers, the Girl Scouts.
But if you don’t find
yourself sitting around a campfire as summer rolls in, try this
kitchen-friendly twist on the fireside favorite. The 1991 We Energies Cookie
Book featured the following recipe that includes graham crackers, chocolate and
marshmallows, but uses some easy baking, an 8-inch-square pan and your oven’s
broiler to bring the s’mores indoors.
S’mores
1 cup graham
cracker crumbs
2
tablespoons sugar
3
tablespoons melted butter or margarine
8 ounces
semi-sweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
½ cup butter
or margarine
¼ cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup
all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon
salt
18
marshmallows cut into halves
Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and 3
tablespoons melted butter in 8-inch square baking pan; press evenly in bottom
of pan. Melt chocolate and 1/2 cup
butter in medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat
and cool slightly. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar and the eggs; mix in flour and salt.
Spread batter over crust. Bake at 325 degrees until toothpick inserted in
center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Turn oven to broil. Place
marshmallows, cut sides down, on cookies. Broil 6 inches from heat source until
marshmallows are puffed and golden (watch carefully!). Cool on wire rack. Cut
into 18 squares (2 marshmallows per square), cutting through marshmallows with
scissors dipped in water. Makes 1 ½ dozen.
