Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Mini marshmallows

Topping

  • Extra chocolate chips, to taste
  • Extra mini marshmallows, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help create a tender texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt evenly to ensure proper leavening and seasoning.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough bars.
  6. Fold in crumbs and chips: Gently fold in the graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips to distribute them uniformly throughout the dough.
  7. Layer dough and marshmallows: Spread half of the cookie dough mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down gently. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over this layer.
  8. Add remaining dough: Spread the remaining cookie dough on top of the marshmallow layer carefully to cover them completely.
  9. Add toppings: Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the top for added gooeyness and visual appeal.
  10. Bake: Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper if used. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
  12. Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your delicious S’mores Cookie Bars with family and friends!

Notes

  • Using parchment paper helps in easy removal and cleanup.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the bars tender and soft.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows chopped into smaller pieces if needed.
  • For extra gooey bars, add more chocolate chips and marshmallows on top before baking.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
