  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 1/2 sheets of bronze gelatin
  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup glucose or light corn syrup

Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  2. Cream together the butter, both sugars, honey, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream until everything is mixed, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low until just combined.
  4. Roll the dough out in between sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thick. Refrigerate sheets for about 1 hour, until firm. Cut out shapes of desired size and shape. Place onto parchment lined sheet trays with 1 inch of space in between.
  5. Refrigerate sheets for 10 minutes. Bake in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for about 11-15 minutes, rotating pans half way through baking. Cool cookies to room temperature.
  6. For marshmallows, bloom the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. Then, squeeze out any excess water and dissolve them in ½ cup hot water.
  7. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg white until stiff.
  8. In a small pot, bring the sugar and glucose to a boil until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the mixer. Add the dissolved gelatin, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixer. Whip on medium speed until the bowl is cool and the mixture is thick.
  9. Spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with pan spray and dust with powdered sugar. Spread the marshmallow mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly into the corners and smoothing the top. Sprinkle a heavy layer of powdered sugar over the top and let is sit uncovered at room temperature until it is set. Once set, cut into desired shapes.
  10. To assemble s’mores, roast marshmallows. Sandwich roasted marshmallow and chocolate in between 2 graham crackers and serve.
