Method for the cookies:

  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour and the baking powder to the butter mixture.
  4. Add the crushed Dark Chocolate Cocoa Skinny Dipped Almonds.
  5. Roll the cookie dough evenly between two pieces of baking paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make it easier to cut out. 
  6. In the meantime preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  7. Once hard enough, take the cookie dough out of the fridge and cut out circles of 2 inches diameter.  
  8. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and set aside.
Method for the marshmallow icing:  
  1. Place the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in a heat proof bowl.
  2. Set over a saucepan with simmering water and whisk continuously until sugar is dissolved. It should take 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and with an electric beater, whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form and add the vanilla extract.
  4. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle and pipe out peaks on the cookies.
Method for the chocolate coating: 
  1. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave. Start with 1 minute on medium high, stir and repeat heating at shorter intervals until completely melted.
  2. Add oil to melted chocolate and stir until smooth. 
  3. Transfer to a deep and high sided container.
  4. Dip each cookie gently upside down into the chocolate mixture and let excess drip off. Place onto a wire rack and top with a Dark Chocolate Cacao Skinny Dipped Almond. 
  5. Once all done, refrigerate the S'mores until the chocolate coating is firm and enjoy!
