Tips for the Best Smores Cookies
To achieve the perfect gooey center without overbaking, keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. The edges should be lightly golden, while the center remains soft. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly as they cool on the baking sheet, so it's better to pull them out a bit early than to risk dryness.
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients or using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips. This will elevate the taste profile and make your Smores Cookies even more irresistible. And don’t forget to use high-quality chocolate for the best results!
Storing and Freezing Smores Cookies
If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), you can store your Smores Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. This will keep them soft and chewy. For longer storage, consider freezing the cookies. Just let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
When you're ready to enjoy your frozen cookies, simply take them out and let them thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds. This will bring back their gooey goodness, making them taste freshly baked!
