So, there I was standing in the pantry, feeling like I needed a cookie. Then I saw the oats and thought, hey, I’ll make some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Then I saw the graham crackers and I thought, nope. Forget the oats. I’m grinding up some graham crackers and turning them into cookies. A cracker cookie! A delicious, chocolate filled graham cracker cookie that makes me weep with joy.
So, that’s how these happened. Now you know.
The texture is a bit different from your average cookie and the flavor really does shout graham crackers if you ask me. The melty chocolate chips are optional, except not, because chocolate.
Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Cookies – a cracker cookie? Yep, and it’s delicious!
Just wait until you see what I do to this cookie base next time. I have grand plans. Oh, do I have grand plans. UPDATED: I turned these into s’mores cookies!
Enjoy these cookies any time when you follow the instructions for how to freeze cookies!
Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy
- Beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but should set up nicely as they cool.
Can’t wait to try these! I’m joining my girlfriends for an Xmas in July evening where we’ll be watching Muppet Christmas Carol (the reason we’re doing it! Haha!) I offered to bake sugar cookies with summer flavors and holiday themed designs. Of course, a s’mores flavor came to mind! So it’ll be these cookies (I’ll probably chop up a Symphony bar for the choc in these, as that’s what I use when I go camping), then decorate the tops with mini marshmallows in the shape of snowmen. I’ll finish them off with a light toast from my creme brulee torch! I can’t wait to try them!!!
For those of you checking comments before trying – Definitely make these and don’t be afraid to add your own spin on them! Instead of chocolate chips (or a Symphony bar as mentioned above), I coarsely chopped a Dark Chocolate and Sea Salted Almond Theo bar and used that (one bar for the entire batch was plenty.) I also went ahead and added the mini marshmallows, and torched them. They didn’t add enough flavor to give them a full-on “s’mores” taste, but they look like a deconstructed s’more, and that’s fine for my purposes. :D
Also, since the ground up graham crackers don’t really help with binding the dough, definitely add the extra step many chocolate chip cookie recipes call for, and let them sit 3-5 minutes on the pan before transferring them to your cooling rack (or paper bag, if you’re old school.)
You don’t get slapped in the face with graham flavor, either. Next time, I think I’ll add some Graham Flour and see if that enhances that part of the flavor profile I to which I was looking forward.
All in all, though, a tasty cookie!
I just made these and they came out delicious! The only things I did different was freeze the cookies as I warmed up my oven which takes about 10 minutes. I reduced the chocolate chips to 3/4 because I added a chocolate covered marshmallow on top when I took them out of the oven. It gave it that s’mores touch! This is a very easy and yummy recipe!
So glad you enjoyed these cookies, Kiki! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your feedback. Happy baking!
