Caramel S'mores Cookie Cake
Description
This recipe blends sugar cookie mix with graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of kosher salt to form a soft dough pressed into a baking pan. Baking at 375°F until golden sets the cookie cake base. Immediately adding soft chew caramel pieces on top and briefly returning the pan to the oven melts the caramels. Then, sprinkling dark chocolate chips and spreading the melted mixture creates a rich, chocolate-caramel layer.
Finally, mini marshmallows are layered on top and broiled briefly until toasted, adding a signature smoky marshmallow topping reminiscent of traditional s'mores. The resulting dessert combines the buttery, slightly crumbly cookie with gooey caramel, rich chocolate, and the soft, toasted marshmallows, offering varied textures and layers of sweetness.
The recipe suggests using Kraft Baking Caramels for the soft chew texture and notes careful monitoring during broiling to prevent burning. Melting caramels evenly may require flipping un-melted pieces.
Ingredients
- 17.5 oz bag sugar cookie mix (Betty Crocker brand is my personal fave)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup butter melted, unsalted
- pinch kosher salt
- 11 oz bag caramels cut in half, soft chew
- 12 oz bag dark chocolate chips
- 2 tsp salt sea salt
- 16 oz bag mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Then add the sugar cookie mix and graham cracker crumbs to a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the melted butter and kosher salt until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough to un-greased 9x9 inch baking pan and press into an even layer.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set in the middle.
- Add the caramels to the top and return to the oven for 1 minute.
- Top with chocolate chips and let sit for a minute or until melted enough to spread. Alternately, you could return the pan to the oven for another 30 seconds or so.
- Spread melted chocolate and caramel all over the top of the cookie cake. Sprinkle sea salt over the top.
- Top with marshmallows and broil for approximately 1-2 minutes, until marshmallows are toasted to your liking. Be careful, they can burn fast!
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
Notes
- Using Kraft Baking Caramels ensures a soft chew texture ideal for this recipe.
- If preferred, you can substitute salted butter for unsalted and omit the added kosher salt.
- Caramel melting time may vary; if some pieces don’t melt after a minute or two, flipping them with tongs or a fork helps melt the other side.
