Thumbprint Cookies rolled in graham crackers and pecans and topped with toasted marshmallows and chocolate for the perfect little bites of s’mores any time of the year!
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. shortening (part butter or margarine)
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 c. flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg separated
- 1/3 c. graham crackers
- 1/4 c. pecans finely ground
- 3/4 c. mini marshmallows
- 1/3 c. chocolate
- 1 tsp. oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°. In a medium bow, mix the shortening , sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Blend flour and salt into the mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the finely crushed graham crackers and pecans. Add your egg white to another separate bowl and beat slightly.
- Roll your dough into 1.5″ balls, being sure not to overwork the dough. Dip the balls into egg whites, then roll into graham cracker and pecan mixture.
- Place the rolled balls on a greased cookie sheet. With your thumb, gently press in the center of each cookie approximately 3/4 of the way, being sure not to allow the edges to crack.
- Bake at 350° for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, and while acting quickly, press down in the center of each thumbprint again to redefine the imprint. Place 6 mini marshmallows in the center of each cookie. Immediately return to the oven and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until the marshmallows are browned and the cookies are done.
- In a small microwavable bowl, melt the chocolate and oil in 15 second increments, stirring each time. Be sure not to over cook the chocolate or it will seize. Once all of the chocolate is melted, use it to drizzle over the cookies after they are removed from the oven.
- Cool the cookies before serving and store in an airtight container.

Thanks Chris!
Love this idea for S’mores! Plus I can have them in the winter. Although I might have to disown you now that I know you don’t enjoy roasting marshmallows for S’mores!!! 🙂
Haha, but I enjoy EATING roasted marshmallows, so that is all that really matters right? 😉
These cookies are so adorable. Absolutely perfect for summer! Love that they make a smaller batch – it keeps me from eating more than I should 😉
Thanks Kathi, I love the small batch as well. If I make a ‘normal’ batch of cookies I feel overwhelmed with how many it makes for just my husband and I!
Toasting marshmallows is fun but stressful. I feel like I melt mine into the fire every single time!
YES! If you get them as melted as you would like, they end up just falling apart. I have zero patience for it! 🙂
My kids love helping with thumbprint cookies- I’m sure I could easily persuade them to make these with me!
I used to love making thumbprints with my mom too!
