Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 1 cup Graham Crackers, crushed
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- For the Cookie Layer:
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- For the Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 bar Hershey Bars, broken
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 7 minutes, until lightly golden.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over the pre-baked graham cracker crust.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the broken Hershey bars over the top of the cookie bars.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are set and golden brown.
- Allow the S’mores Cookie Bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Notes
- Serve warm for an extra gooey texture, topped with vanilla ice cream.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, wrap bars individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a gooey treat.
- Variations include adding nuts, peanut butter chips, or using different chocolate bars.
