Description
These S’mores Cookie Bars are the ultimate treat for s’mores lovers, combining graham cracker and brown sugar cookie dough with a gooey marshmallow creme layer and plenty of chocolate chips. The perfect dessert for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full-sheet graham crackers)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 heaping cup marshmallow creme (store-bought “Fluff” or 1/2 recipe of homemade marshmallow creme)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8-inch square or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal after cooling. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The mixture may appear curdled, but that’s okay.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating on medium speed until combined.
- Press about 2/3 of the graham cookie dough into the prepared pan. The layer will be thin and sticky, so use your hands if needed.
- Spread the marshmallow creme evenly over the dough layer. This may be tricky since the marshmallow creme is sticky, but try to get an even layer.
- Layer the chocolate chips evenly on top of the marshmallow creme. Mold the remaining dough into flat pieces and layer them on top of the chocolate chips. Some chocolate chips and marshmallow creme will be exposed.
- Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have store-bought marshmallow creme, you can make your own marshmallow fluff at home.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- These bars are best enjoyed after cooling completely to allow the layers to set.
