Chocolate Chip Cookie S'mores Bars
Description
The recipe integrates softened butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla with a flour mixture that includes graham cracker crumbs and baking powder to achieve a sturdy yet tender cookie dough. Chocolate chips and most of the mini marshmallows are folded in to provide pockets of melting chocolate and gooey marshmallow within the bars. This dough is pressed into a greased pan and topped with remaining marshmallows, chopped chocolate, and graham cracker pieces before baking.
Baked at 350°F, the bars develop a slightly crisp top from the marshmallow caramelization and a soft center from the cookie batter. Cooling completely before cutting ensures clean bars. These dessert bars capture the nostalgic flavor of s'mores in a portable, sliceable format great for gatherings or casual treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 chocolate 6 ounce, chopped
- graham crackers broken into pieces, a few
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, graham crumbs,, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the egg and beat for another minute or so until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until combined. Scrape the sides if needed. Once the dough has come together, stir the chocolate chips and 3/4 of the marshmallows into the dough with a spatula.
- Press the mixture into the greased baking dish. Top if with the leftover marshmallows, the chopped chocolate and the graham pieces. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool and set completely before serving.
Notes
- The bars should be fully cooled to set properly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Using graham cracker crumbs in the dough helps replicate the classic s'mores texture inside the bars.
- The mixture of mini marshmallows inside and on top creates a layered marshmallow effect when baked.
