Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cracker Base:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Toppings:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate bars
Instructions
- Mix 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt in a bowl, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cream 1 cup butter with ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup white sugar in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes light and airy at medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, blending completely after each addition.
- Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and stir until fully integrated.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Blend 1 cup graham cracker crumbs and 1 ½ cups chocolate chips into the dough.
- Prepare a 9×13 inch pan by lining with parchment paper, creating an overhang for easy removal.
- Spread half the cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a smooth base layer.
- Distribute 2 cups mini marshmallows across the entire surface of the first dough layer.
- Scatter ½ cup broken chocolate bar pieces over the marshmallows.
- Carefully layer remaining cookie dough on top, covering marshmallows and chocolate completely.
- Heat oven to 350°F and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges turn golden brown and center sets.
- Remove pan from oven and allow bars to cool completely at room temperature.
- Lift bars out using parchment paper edges and slice into square portions.
- Store in an airtight container for maximum freshness, consuming within 5 days.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before pressing into the pan to help prevent spreading and maintain clean layers.
- Use a wet spatula or offset knife to spread top dough layer smoothly over marshmallows without disturbing the bottom layer.
- For extra graham cracker flavor, crush them more finely and press some crumbs onto the top of the bars before baking.
- Replace chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips for delicious flavor variations that complement the s’mores theme.
