Ingredients
- For the crust & cookie dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks, 226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the s’mores filling:
- 6–8 graham crackers, broken into pieces
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 chocolate bars (like Hershey’s), broken into squares
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Layer base: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Add s’mores filling: Layer with graham cracker pieces, chocolate bar squares, and 1 ½ cups marshmallows.
- Top layer: Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the top and gently spread (it’s okay if some marshmallows peek through).
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and set.
- Cool & slice: Let cool completely before cutting into bars for clean slices.
Notes
- For extra gooey bars, broil for 1–2 minutes after baking to toast the marshmallows.
- Swap chocolate bars for peanut butter cups or caramel-filled chocolate for a fun twist.
- Best enjoyed slightly warm!
