S'mores Cookie Bars
These S'mores Cookie Bars are made with a sweet graham cracker crust, cookie dough with marshmallows folded in, and topped with Hershey bar squares for that distinct s'mores taste.
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
Cookie Dough:
- ¾ cup salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups mini-marshmallows - frozen, (1 cup stirred in, 1/2 cup for the top)
- 2 (1.55 oz) Hershey chocolate bars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place marshmallows in freezer if you haven't already (they don't take long to freeze).
- For the graham cracker crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs, sugar, and butter until combined. Press well into a 9x13 baking dish. If you don't press it down well it won't stay together.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter (make sure it's mostly cooled), brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the frozen marshmallows.
- Scoop dough on top of the graham cracker crust and gently press in an even layer. Don't worry about filling the pan too much - the dough will cover all of it as it bakes. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of marshmallows on top slightly pressing in.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top begins to get touches of golden brown. Continue to cook a few minutes more if the center is not set and is jiggly. They will continue to firm up after cooling so be sure not to overbake.
- After bars are done baking, remove pan from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes then carefully place broken candy bar pieces on top. Top with some flaky salt. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
