Get the Recipe: S'mores Cookie Bars
These quick, easy s'mores cookie bars have all the flavours of S'mores, in cookie bar form. Perfect large bake for BBQs, picnics or bake sales.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, reduce to a pinch if using salted butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups mini marshmallows, heaping
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks, a bit more if using chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. (non-convection/not fan-assisted) and grease and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper along the long sides extends above the pan a bit, to act as handles to remove from the pan later. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Reduce mixer to low and slowly beat in the flour mixture until combined.
- Remove and set aside about 1/4 of the dough. Press the remaining dough into the prepared pan to form a thin, even layer on the bottom of the pan. Top with chocolate chunks, then marshmallows. Scatter the reserved dough over-top in clumps. It won't/shouldn't cover the entire top, as you want the chocolate and marshmallows to show through the top.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool completely, then lift out of the pan by grabbing the parchment paper. Remove to a cutting board. Trim the outside edges, if desired, then cut into squares.
Notes
Tips!
I find these bars are easiest to cut cold, so I like to pop the pan into the refrigerator for a bit before cutting. That said, these bars are best enjoyed at room temperature or slightly warm (pop them into the microwave for a few seconds!).
I like to trim the outside edges of bars like this, then cut into even squares. Makes for a nice neat bunch of squares, plus you get to eat the trimmings (hate to waste ;)
Don't need a big pan of cookie bars? Cut the recipe in half and bake it up in an 8x8-inch square baking pan. Baking time will be slightly less.
