S'mores Cookie Bars
There's something utterly magical about s'mores that brings back childhood memories of campfires, laughter, and starry nights. The combination of gooey marshmallows, rich chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers is simply irresistible. Today, I'm excited to share my easy recipe for S'mores Cookie Bars that will transport you straight back to those sweet summer nights, minus the campfire!
Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking pan
- Large bowl
- Separate bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
For the Cookie Bars
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Additional toppings

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Step 3: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Step 6: Spread half of the cookie dough mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan. Press it down gently to form a base layer.
- Step 7: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips and mini marshmallows over the dough base.
- Step 8: Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the chocolate and marshmallows, spreading it as evenly as possible.
- Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 10: Allow the bars to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your S'mores Cookie Bars!
Notes
Once your bars have cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, feel free to freeze them!
