Cinnamon-Walnut Cookie S'mores

This variation on the campfire staple is over the top, thanks to the nutty homemade cookies that replace the graham crackers.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1 (4 ounce) bittersweet chocolate baking bar
8 large marshmallows

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beating well.

2. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture. Beat at low speed until blended. Stir in walnuts.

3. Divide dough into 16 equal portions; roll each portion into a ball. Place balls 1 inch apart on lightly greased baking sheets; flatten slightly.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 16 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool cookies on pans 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks. Cool completely.

5. Preheat broiler. Separate chocolate bars into 8 squares. Place a chocolate square on flat side of each of 8 cookies.

6. Place marshmallows on a baking sheet. Broil 3 minutes or until puffed and toasted. Immediately transfer marshmallows to top of chocolate squares, using a small spatula. Top marshmallows with remaining cookies, flat sides down; press down gently.
