So I know I usually start off by introducing the person(s) and all of the fun little nicknames that they have but I guess when it came to Jimmy we, or maybe just I, weren’t too creative in that area. I’ve always either called him Jimmy or Majka. Now I am not saying that there aren’t other nicknames out there for him, I am just saying that I don’t have a clue what they are. Anyway, Jimmy and I became friends in middle school and have remained good friends ever since. Although we don’t hang out all the time, when we do it’s ALWAYS a good time. Jimmy is absolutely hilarious and is hands down the best STORY-TELLER I have ever met!!! He tells this one story about a knife chase that always gets the crowd laughing. Although Jimmy can always make me laugh, he is also someone I know I can turn to when things aren’t so funny. He is so kind and caring and thoughtful and really just an amazing man! Maria, his wonderfully fun girlfriend, is one lucky woman (and we have been lucky in getting to know her too)!!! So I hope that these cookies bring Jimmy some happiness on what will end up being the first of many sad days this season… poor Red Sox fan.
S’mores Thumbprint Cookies
Ingredients
COOKIES:
3/4 c butter, room temperature
3/4 c confectioners' sugar
1 lg egg, seperated
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c graham crackers, crushed
FILLING:
1 1/4 c chocolate chips
2 c mini marshmallows
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Combine butter & powdered sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg yolk & vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour & salt. Beat until well mixed.
3. Place egg white into small bowl; lightly beat with wire whisk. Place graham cracker crumbs into another small bowl. Shape dough into 1" balls. (Dough may be soft.) Dip balls into egg white; roll in graham cracker crumbs. Reshape balls, if necessary. Place 1" apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb or back of teaspoon. Bake for 9 - 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown.
4. Immediately place 4 - 5 chocolate chips & 3 mini marshmallows in each indentation. Return to oven; continue baking for 3 - 4 minutes or until chocolate is melted & marshmallows are puffed. Remove to wire cooling racks. Melt remaining chocolate chips & drizzle over cookies.
***CHANGE to this recipe... as you will note in step two it says to add vanilla HOWEVER there was no vanilla listed in the ingredients so I went with the standard baking amount and used 1 teaspoon of vanilla***

I had the privilege of tasting these (I can't believe Jim was willing to share one) and they were AMAZING!!! Jimmy is also an avid baker, and very critical of other peoples "goods", so I wanted to mention that he really loved them too! Yum! I can't wait to try to make these myself!
