There was that one time I made these S’more Cookie Bars for my niece’s birthday party. The moment she took a bite, her face lit up like it had just been hit by fireworks. It was a small victory in my baking career but made me realize how much joy food can bring.

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Unsalted Butter: Always use unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness of your bars.
• Brown Sugar: The brown sugar adds moisture and that lovely caramel flavor we all love.
• Granulated Sugar: This helps balance the sweetness alongside brown sugar for perfect flavor.
• Large Eggs: Use room temperature eggs for better consistency when mixing.
• All-Purpose Flour: Regular flour works best; no fancy substitutions needed here!
• Baking Powder: This lightens the texture to keep your bars fluffy and delightful.
• Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are ideal, but feel free to mix it up with milk chocolate if you prefer.
• Mini Marshmallows: They melt beautifully and create those gooey pockets of goodness throughout your bars.
• Graham Cracker Crumbs: These add that classic S’mores flavor—don’t skip this step!

How to Make S’more Cookie Bars

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Create Your Cookie Dough Base: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks like clouds!

Add Eggs and Dry Ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Then add flour, baking powder, and salt gradually while mixing until everything comes together smoothly.

Toss in Chocolate Chips and Grahams: Gently fold in those chocolate chips along with graham cracker crumbs into your dough mixture. Be careful not to overmix—think gentle hugs instead of bear hugs!

Layering Time!: Spread half of your cookie dough into the prepared baking pan evenly. Next, sprinkle mini marshmallows over this layer followed by more chocolate chips for ultimate indulgence.

Add Final Layer & Bake : Spread the remaining cookie dough on top of everything like a comforting blanket. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top but still soft inside—the smell will be irresistible!

Now just let them cool slightly before cutting into squares…and try not to eat them all at once! Enjoy every last crumb because you deserve it.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Prepare the crust first while mixing the cookie dough. This sequence saves time and ensures everything bakes evenly together.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate or add nuts for a crunchier texture. Customize the bars based on your preferences for a unique twist.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover S’more Cookie Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. For a warm treat, reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

I remember making S’more Cookie Bars for a family gathering, and they disappeared faster than I could say “marshmallow.” Everyone loved them, and I felt like a superstar chef that day!
