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