The humble s’more gets an upgrade with homemade graham wafers, cherry filling and maple-flavoured marshmallows.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
1/2 cup cherry fruit spread
2 100-g milk chocolate bars, broken into 2-in. squares
8 maple-flavoured marshmallows, such as President's Choice brand
Instructions
WHIRL flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Pulse in butter, egg and vanilla until dough comes together.
SHAPE dough into a 1-in. thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
PREHEAT oven to 350F, then line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
ROLL dough out on a lightly floured surface to a scant ¼-in. thickness. Cut with a 3-in. square cookie cutter and place on prepared sheets, re-rolling scraps. Prick the cookie down the centre 3 times with a fork.
BAKE in batches until firm, 14 to 16 min. Let cool on sheet for 5 min and remove to rack to cool completely. Heat broiler to high.
FILLING: Spread half of cookies with 1 tbsp each of the fruit spread and a square of chocolate. Place marshmallows on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until golden, about 1 min, adding chocolate-and- jam-topped cookies in last 30 seconds. Top each with a plain cookie to make a sandwich, pressing down.
