Chocolate Cake Smores Cookies

In our backyard, we have a fire pit, which really is just a hole in the ground with some arranged bricks around the perimeter to serve as a pretty border (so that you can call it a fire pit and not just a hole in the ground) and tell the kids where the DO NOT CROSS zone is.

Weve made Smores many times, but its a dangerous affair since my husband, a former Eagle Scout learned the proper way to stack fire logs to produce long lasting, intense, big flame, big heat fires. He stacks them like a game of Jenga.

Trying to make Smores in that fire WITHOUT the added bonus of singed arm hairs is almost impossible. The heat of the fire is so intense that you literally have to lay on the ground, crouch behind the stack of bricks to protect your face while reaching in with your non-dominant hand (you wouldnt want to burn off your good hand) holding a stick with a marshmallow dangling off it.

And that is why I love these Smores Cookies. No burning, no singe-ing.

These cute little cookies are from my friend, Jenny Flakes new cookbook, The Picky Palate Cookbook. Jenny and I always have fun together, wherever we meet up. Usually, theres cameras, cupcakes and wine involved. Sometimes, all of the aforementioned inside the privacy of a limo. We party in style!

What I love about Jennys cookbook is that its FUN. Who else would stuff an Oreo inside a chocolate chip cookie?? All of the recipes are family favorites.

You might be wondering, why is the word cake in this recipe? Well, Chocolate Cake Smores Cookies are made with cake mix. Yup, boxed devils food cake mix, whisked with eggs, brown sugar and butter. The batter is thick, just like cookie batter. Then you get to decorate the cookies with bits of graham cracker, mini marshmallows and a mini bar of chocolate.

Oh, and the photos of the Chocolate Cake Smores Cookies? Those are Jennys photos from the book. We made these cookies and by the time I got the camera out, nearly all of them were gone. GONE. I was robbed by 3 hungry kids and a sweet-toothed husband.
