S'MORES CHEWY COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Line an 8" square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides. Spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until mixture is creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Turn the mixer down to low speed and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
• Press approximately 2/3 of the graham cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Spread the Marshmallow Creme on top. I find the best way to do this is to scoop out the entire amount of Creme into the middle of the dough, spray a spatula generously with non-stick spray, and spread it as best as you can. Sprinkle the marshmallow layer evenly with the chocolate chips. Mold the remaining cookie dough into 5 or 6 flat pieces and layer on top of the chocolate chips. Spread around with your hands the best you can. If some chocolate chips and marshmallow spots are exposed, that's completely ok.
• Bake the bars for 26-28 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the spots of Marshmallow Creme that stuck out are just beginning to brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter.
• In a large bowl combine the butter and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer, blend until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and mix on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute.
• In a separate bowl combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. With the mixer running, slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and pat out in an even layer to cover the bottom of the pan. Top the dough with the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
• Bake until the marshmallows are browned and the dough is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then slice into 2-by-2-inch squares.

SMORES COOKIES

Steps:

• Roughly chop the Graham crackers and Hershey's bar, then tear the mini marshmallows in half. These marshmallows are one of the best parts of the cookie but they will puff up and get a bit out of control if you don't halve them.
• Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch in a bowl then whisk together and set aside.
• Using a stand or hand mixer, beat butter and sugars in a bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and until combined. Scrape the bowl down and mix once more.
• Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
• Reserve a handful of the torn marshmallows and set aside then add the remaining marshmallows, chocolate chips, and Graham crackers to the dough and mix on low until just combined (do not over-beat).
• Refrigerate dough for an hour or more.
• Heat oven to 350F. Portion out roughly two tablespoon sized pieces of dough. Roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
• Bake at 350° for 8 minutes then top the cookies with the reserved marshmallow and Hershey's bar pieces then return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to finish baking. IF a some cookies had a blowout because of a few too many marshmallows to you can corral them back together with a round cookie cutter or a knife.
• Leave on pan to cool completely.
