Take A Look At This Sweetness: Tripped-Out S'more

 This is my experimental OOPS!!

OR

Maybe it's not an OOPS! at all.....

This is my version of a Tripped-Out S'more.

 The hot item this last summer was the Reese's S'more.....

Okay, peanut butter cookies have peanut butter.

Brownies have chocolate.

Marshmallow fluff has marshmallow.

And strawberry jam has strawberries.

But we all know that, right?

RIGHT!

But what if you put them all together?

HEAVEN!

 I made my peanut butter cookies first.

While the cookies cooled, I made my brownies.

As soon as the brownies came out of the oven,

piping hot,

I spread brownie on the bottom of one peanut butter cookie.

UMMMM Yeah, you know where the rest is going.

Add marshmallow fluff and strawberry jam.

Top with another peanut butter cookie....

Tripped-Out S'more

 But my next round making these bad boys,

and there is definitely a next round,

I'm going to do things differently.

As you can see, the fluff melted on the hot brownie.

I am going to let my brownie cool on the cookie

and then add the fluff.

I'm also going to add peanut butter chips to the cookie recipe.

Just for more OOMF on the peanut butter.

I sent some of these cookies with my daughter to take to work with her.

Within minutes.....she was calling me with orders from her coworkers.

How cool is that?

See, I told you there would be a next time.

Peanut Butter Cookie

1 stick butter, room temp

1/2 c. Peanut Butter

2 oz. cream cheese

1 c. brown sugar

1 egg

2 c. all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 to 3/4 c. peanut butter chips (opt.)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 

Cream butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and salt together. Add in egg and mix until combined. Slowly add in flour and baking powder, adding about a half a cup at a time, until cookie dough forms. Using a large cookie scoop, place dough balls on a cookie sheet. I used a fork dipped in cinnamon/sugar to make the cris-cross design, pressing lightly. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cookies sit on Cookie Sheet for a few minutes before removing to cooling rack.

Brownie (or you can use the Brownie mix of your choice)

1/2 c. butter, melted

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3 TBS chocolate syrup

2 eggs

1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/3 c. Cocoa Powder

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. mini semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 c. milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In large bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl stir together butter and sugar. Ad and stir in vanilla and syrup. Add eggs, one at a time and mix well (I use a whisk).

Gently fold in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter into a brownie pan (I used a 10 inch round) and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Marshmallow Fluff
