Get ready for chewy, gooey Smores Cookie Bars loaded with marshmallows, milk chocolate and peanut butter! These are a Summer favorite and super easy to make in just one bowl. Prep them in 10 minutes, then let the oven do the work.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- ⅔ cup graham cracker crumbs, fine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Peanut Butter (natural or a brand like jif or skippy works too)
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- (1) 8x8 pan and parchment paper to line it
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bit of vegetable oil on the bottom of the 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat on the stovetop and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Once fragrant with an amber color, immediately turn off the heat and transfer the butter to a bowl and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, brown sugar and granulated sugar.
- Into the dry ingredient bowl, stir in eggs, vanilla extract, peanut butter and warm browned butter. Once it is mixed well, use your hands to mix it even more and form it into a cookie dough ball.
- Pour 3/4 of the mini marshmallows and 3/4 of the chocolate chips into the bowl and use your hands to mix them into all of the batter.
- Press the cookie dough into the parchment lined 8x8 dish. Spread the remaining mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the top of the dough. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Allow the cookie bars to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the dish. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Browned Butter can quickly go from delicious to burnt, so make sure to immediately transfer it to a cool bowl once it is amber in color.
- Allow the cookie bars to cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from the dish so they don't break apart. I like to eat them warm (and cooled) 😂
