PREPARATION: 

Prepare the Skillet

• Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Do not preheat the skillet for this recipe.

Make the Cookie Dough

• Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Do not preheat the skillet for this recipe.
• Use a mixer and mixing bowl to cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg, vanilla, salt and cloves until combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Press 3/4 of the dough into the prepared skillet.

Assemble the Cookie Bar

• Toss the cherries in an additional tablespoon or two of flour, and layer on the cookie dough with the chocolate chips. I suggest adding the marshmallows half-way through the baking time to avoid over toasting. 
• Top with the reserved 1/4 cup of cookie dough.

Prepare the Grill

• Place 1 1/2 cups Cowboy Cherry Smoking Chips into a smoker box or perforated foil packet.
• Place the smoker box over the hottest burner, and heat until wood chips release smoke.
• Invert a grill safe baking pan onto the center of the grill.
• Set the grill for 350°F.

Bake the Cookie Bars

• Place the skillet of s'more cookie dough on the inverted baking pan over indirect heat.
• Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
• Cover and store leftover bars at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Chef Notes

• Make sure your grill is clean and free of debris before you start baking.
• If you don't have a smoker box, you can place two handfuls of chips on heavy duty aluminum foil and fold them into a sealed packet by pinching the opened ends. Pierce with a fork a few times so that the smoke can drift out.
• If you're using a cast iron skillet, do not preheat it before adding the dough.
• Let the Chocolate Cherry S’more Cookie Bars cool completely before cutting them into pieces if you are planning to take the bars to an event, this will allow for the bars to retain their shape.
• If you are serving the bars warm with ice cream, then wait 15 minutes after removing the Chocolate Cherry S’more Cookie Bars from the grill before slicing.
