s’mores cookie bars

These s’mores cookie bars were quickly devoured at our annual church picnic on Sunday. Who can resist a s’more mixed with a chocolate chip cookie?! When I was searching for a recipe on Saturday night, this one had my name written all over it. It starts with a buttery graham cracker crust, covered in chocolate chip cookie dough, and topped off with marshmallows and Hershey bar pieces. Yum!!

Ingredients:
1 sleeve of graham crackers, crushed (or 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs)
1/2 stick melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter, softened to room temp
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1  1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows, divided
1 Hershey bar (12 squares)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into an 8x8 inch pan.



Cream together the softened stick of butter with sugar and brown sugar. Next, add the egg and vanilla. Then gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt.

 

Mix in 1/2 a cup of marshmallows and all of the chocolate chips, just until combined.



Drop spoonfuls of cookie batter over the graham cracker crust, and then smooth it over with the back of a spoon, or a rubber spatula. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Pull it out and sprinkle it with 1/4 cup marshmallows and the Hershey pieces. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. It is done when a toothpick comes out clean (about 22 minutes total oven time).



Feel free to share with friends, or hoard it all for yourself because an 8x8 is really not that big :)
