If you are having a cookout this weekend and do not want sticky fingers and melted chocolate all over your patio furniture here is the tasty solution: S'mores Cookies! Don't knock 'em until you try 'em. They are mess free and full of toasty goodness! Yummm!

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour (Spooned and Leveled)
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour (Spooned and Leveled)
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup (2 Sticks) Unsalted Butter, Room Temp.
3/4 Cup Light-Brown Sugar
1 Large Egg
8 Ounces Bittersweet or Semisweet Chocolate, Cut into 30 Squares
15 Large Marshmallows, Halved Horizontally

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse oats until finely ground. Add flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; pulse to combine. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. With mixer on low, beat in  flour mixture just until combined.
2. Drop dough by tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Top each with a chocolate square. Bake just until lightly golden (approx. 11-13 mins) rotating sheets half way through. Remove sheets from oven; heat broiler. Top each cookie with a marshmallow. One sheet at a time broil until marshmallows are lightly browned (1-1.5 mins.) Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
