Description

S’mores Cookie Bars are a gooey, chocolatey twist on campfire s’mores—chewy graham‑spiced cookie dough layered with marshmallow creme and milk chocolate chips, baked into easy‑to‑cut bars that are nostalgic and indulgent.


Ingredients

1½ cups all‑purpose flour

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup marshmallow creme

1 cup milk chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8″ square pan with foil or parchment, leaving an overhang, and spray lightly.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, graham crumbs, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined.
  5. Press about ⅔ of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Spread marshmallow creme over the dough, then sprinkle milk chocolate chips on top.
  7. Portion the remaining dough into 5–6 flattened pieces and press gently over the chocolate layer, letting some marshmallow peek through.
  8. Bake for 26–28 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and marshmallow spots brown.
  9. Cool completely before lifting out with parchment and slicing into 16 bars.

Notes

  • Swap milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate or chopped Hershey bar pieces for a richer flavor.
  • Use flavored marshmallow creme (e.g., salted caramel or strawberry) for a fun twist.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking to balance sweetness.
  • Make a gluten-free version using gluten-free graham crumbs and flour blend.
