S'more Cookies

If 2020 taught me anything - it would be how to be an online shopper.  Out of necessity, I mastered the art of finding what I needed online, ordering it, paying for it and then waiting for it to show up at my door.  #thankyouamazonprime 😂Online shopping is a beautiful thing and up until last week, I'd probably boasted that over the last year, I'd become a fairly proficient online shopper.  

And then this happened ...

I wanted to order a chocolate mold to make some tools for cupcake toppers. Clearly I missed the fine print on the item description though because the unusually small chocolate mold that arrived, made the tiniest tools that I've ever seen. 👀😅 I'm pretty sure that these miniature chocolate tools would disappear completely into a pillow of buttercream on top of a cupcake.  🛠
​
When I finished laughing about the absurdity of the size of these chocolate tools, I requested a refund from amazon and within minutes, I had my money refunded and they told me that there was no reason to return the product.  #thankyouamazon  That was the point when I decided that I had to at least try the mini mold.  I can't help but wonder what in the world anyone would possibly do with a chocolate hammer that's the size of a penny but who can resist making tools?  🤷🏻‍♀️

Clearly I need a little more help in the online shopping department.  😅 I obviously got a little too excited when I saw the mold for tools and scanned through the details a little too quickly. 😂The same thing happened when I saw this recipe for S'more Cookies.  You can't blame me really.  I mean, who wouldn't get excited about S'more Cookies?  💁🏻‍♀️

When I got all caught up in the excitement of making these amazing treats, I neglected to read through the whole recipe until it was way too late.  I had no idea how many steps were involved in the making of these cookies until the process was already underway.  😬 I don't want to discourage you from making these because they're delicious - I just want to give you all the facts so that you don't jump into the recipe with the same reckless enthusiasm that I did.  🤣 They're just as scrumptious and delicious as they sound but they do require an investment in time.

Much like my chocolate mold order, my cookie making process didn't go off without a hitch.  The first time I made these cookies, I couldn't get the meringue to stand up on its own.  I made it 4 different times and it just wouldn't stiffen up.  😢 I was super frustrated so I decided to give up on my meringue and turn it into buttercream instead and pipe that onto my cookies instead.  The buttercream S'more cookies were great but I still had to make the recipe a second time so that I could do it the way that it was intended - with toasted marshmallow meringue.  😋 Second time was a charm - all I can say is the less humidity in the air - the better the chance that your meringue will firm up.
