S’mores week has come to an end. It’s kinda sad really, because I have truly enjoyed seeing everyone’s creations! Be sure not to miss my S’mores Lasagna and my S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches. However, there is one more thing to celebrate. My friend BBF (best blogging friend) Lindsay from Life Love and Sugar is turning 2 today! Celebrating “blogiversaries” it totally a thing in the blogging world. Stand by for a little celebration next week!
In the mean time, let’s close out S’mores week with Bourbon Bacon S’mores Cookies. This cookie is packed with a few of my favorite thing: toffee, chocolate, bacon, bourbon and marshmallows. I know it’s a mouth full. However, this combination is literally amazing.
My Bourbon Salted Caramel Cookies were some of the best cookies I made lately. Those inspired me to make another version. First of all, bacon and chocolate, hello! It’s one of my favorite combination. Plus you throw in a little bit of toffee for some added sweetness. I decided to add some mini marshmallows into the cookies for the added s’mores factor.
In your sandwich, you’ve got a bourbon infused chocolate sauce and a toasted marshmallow. Now you love marshmallows, I might suggest to put 2 of them in the middle of the cookies since they are kind of large. This cookie recipes makes 3 ½ dozen cookies, so you will have about 20 cookie sandwiches. I used a kitchen torch for my marshmallows, but if you don’t have one, you can also toast these in the oven.
Now you don’t HAVE to make yourself a sandwich, but why wouldn’t you? These cookies are plenty good on your own. Since these cookies are filled with ooey gooey marshmallows and toffee, I would highly suggest to bake them on a cookie sheet lined with a baking mat or parchment paper. Some of the toffee or marshmallow melt when baking. That’s totally fine by me though!
If you are looking for an alcohol free cookie, just omit the bourbon and add 3 more teaspoons of vanilla to the cookie dough batter. For the chocolate sauce, add one extra tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. It’s is easy to substitute it out!
I hope you all have enjoyed S’mores week, I know I have had my fill of marshmallow, chocolate and plenty of graham crackers! Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post to see what all my friends made today!

My hubby would literally inhale these! The bacon and bourbon really set these bad boys apart! 🙂
I recently came across this recipe. I’ve made it twice now for various holidays and the one comment people have is that they don’t taste the bourbon in the cookie. Any thoughts on how to get a more bourbon-y taste in just the cookies? Sometimes making the filling and the sandwich gets a little too messy so I’ve started just doing the cookie.
