S’mores Cookie Bars Delight (Print Version)

Chewy bars with graham layers, melted chocolate chips, and fluffy marshmallow, baked to golden perfection.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
02 - 3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
03 - 1 large egg, at room temperature
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Mix

05 - 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
06 - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full sheets)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Filling

09 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1 heaping cup marshmallow creme

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes until light and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
03 - Whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
04 - Pour the flour mixture into the creamed mixture and beat on medium speed until combined. The dough will be sticky.
05 - Press or spread two-thirds of the cookie dough into the prepared pan, forming a thin, even layer.
06 - Spread the marshmallow creme evenly over the cookie dough base. Gently work to achieve an even layer as much as possible.
07 - Scatter the chocolate chips evenly over the marshmallow creme layer.
08 - Flatten remaining dough into pieces and arrange over the chocolate chips. Some filling will remain exposed.
09 - Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown. Remove pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
10 - Lift cooled bars from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into squares. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature for optimum texture. Marshmallow creme is sticky; using lightly greased utensils can ease spreading.
