Description
Deliciously easy S’mores Cookie Bars combine all the classic flavors of s’mores into a shareable and sliceable dessert perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Cookie Base
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened (Room temperature for best results.)
- 1 cup Brown sugar (Light or dark brown sugar both work.)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour (Spoon and leveled for accuracy.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Provides a little lift.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Essential for flavor balance.)
For the S’mores Layer
- 2 cups Graham crackers, crushed (Can also use crumbs for the base.)
- 1 cup Chocolate (bars, chips, or chunks) (Milk chocolate is traditional; semisweet is an option.)
- 2 cups Marshmallows (mini or regular) (Mini marshmallows melt faster.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Crush the graham crackers into small pieces and press a layer into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Fold in some graham pieces and a handful of chocolate chips.
Assembly
- Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan.
- Layer with chocolate and then marshmallows.
- Drop the remaining dough in blobs over the top, leaving some gaps for the gooey texture.
Baking
- Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until edges are golden and the center is set yet soft. Allow to cool before cutting.
Notes
For best results, let the bars cool for at least an hour before slicing. Use a warm knife for neat edges.
