S'mores Cookie Bars

Here's a nice winter treat to make in your home.  All the goodness of a summer campfire treat inside your own oven!  The graham crackers add a wonderful texture sensation to the gooey chocolate and chewy marshmellows.  I ran out of Hershey's squares and had to top the remaining bars with milk chocolate chocolate chips (the original recipe called for 3 bars, you'll need four).  I used almost two packages (there are 3 in most boxes) of graham crackers.  I found the recipe at www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com.

S'MORES COOKIE BARS (makes about 48 cookies)

11 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup mini marshmellows
4 regular sized Hershey's chocolate bars, broken into pieces
2 packages graham crackers, broken into squares

Line two baking pans with parchment paper (I used an 11x17 and 9x13).  Lay out graham crackers side by side on the pans as close as possible (they should be touching).

Cream together the butter and both sugars.  Add the eggs and vanilla.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon.  Fold in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.  Chill dough in refrigerator at least one hour (overnight is best).


Preheat oven to 375.  Place rounded tablespoons of dough on graham crackers.  Use your fingerprints to press down.  Bake for 5 mintues then remove from oven to press Hershey's bar pieces on to the top.  Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes (I tend to go a few minutes more on each process) or until dough is beginning to turn golden brown at the edges.  Make sure cookies are completely cool before cutting, otherwise you'll end up with a doughy mess!
