S'mores Cookie Crumb Bars

By srumbel

These cookie bars are like a traditional s’mores but in cookie form – the iconic Hershey’s bar and marshmallow fluff sandwiched between two graham cracker cookie layers (rather than just the cracker itself). The cookie layers remind me of a chocolate chip cookie but with graham cracker crumbs instead of chocolate chips.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.
In another large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy, roughly 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, roughly 1 minute. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated and a dough forms.
Reserve 1 1/4 cup of the dough. With the remaining dough, pat into the bottom of the pan. Top with the chocolate bars, laying down four whole bars and breaking up the last bar to fill in the gaps. Spread the marshmallow fluff on top of the chocolate. Top with the reserved dough, pressing the dough together to cover as much as you can.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the top cookie layer comes out clean. Cool completely before removing and cutting.
