Golden Campfire Cookies
I figured I’d bring the campfire to me
These cookies capture that magic of a s’mores by the campfire. Soft, chewy, and filled with gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and golden graham cracker bits. Perfect for a quiet afternoon with milk, or a warm treat to share with friends.
The dough comes together entirely by hand. No fancy mixers, just intention and care. Allow it to rest in the fridge. This will result in thick, soft cookies. They will hold just enough structure to perfectly hug the marshmallows and chocolate.
Baked until the edges are lightly golden, these cookies are an elevated take on a childhood favorite. Each bite is playful yet refined, indulgent but approachable.
