Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate spread (like Nutella)
• 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Additional graham cracker crumbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make S’mores Cookie Sandwiches

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of chocolate spread on the bottom of one cookie.
9. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few slices of fresh strawberries.
10. Place another cookie on top to form a sandwich, pressing down gently. Repeat for the remaining cookies.
11. If desired, roll the edges of the sandwich in additional graham cracker crumbs for extra crunch.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the ideal cookie texture.
• Allow cookies to cool completely before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the chocolate spread for peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist.
• Add mini marshmallows inside the sandwich for an extra s’mores feel.
• Experiment with flavored whipped cream, like vanilla or chocolate, for added richness.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for extra indulgence.
• Fresh fruit skewers for a light, refreshing contrast.
• Chocolate sauce drizzled on the plate for an elegant presentation.

Storage and Reheating

These S’mores Cookie Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you want to enjoy them warm, pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften the chocolate and whipped cream.
