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.
Made w peanut butter M&M’s, yummy!
So happy to hear you enjoyed them, Mary!
This definitely sounds worth a shot – my focus group (co-workers) would surely give good feedback :). Would flavored (cinnamon) crackers be acceptable, or would the added spice/sugar throw the flavor off?
Peter-
I think the cinnamon crackers would be a great twist! Thanks for stopping by.

I live in Australia so what is the equivalent to Graham Crackers?
Barb-
You might try digestive biscuits, I think they are similar. I hope this helps.

I bought a ton of GC crumbs on sale and am always looking for recipes to use them up. So I had my daughter make these earlier this week, and I may have just found my new favorite cookie! (Previously, it was my grandmother’s choc chip recipe, so I’m not sure if I can take that off the top of the list….) My husband agrees. But my daughter didn’t like them! More for us….
These are so calling my name! I had a graham cracker cupcake with chocolate chips in it and I fell in love. Will definitely have to try these :)
Cathy-
I hope you get the chance to try it. Thanks so much for stopping by.

I love finding recipes that use up graham crackers. I have almost a full box left in my baking cupboard after making s’mores cups that I’ve had no clue what to do with. Since I love chocolate chip cookie these will be awesome! Thank you!
I love graham crackers! This is such a smart idea and if you added some marshmallows, they’d be really fun s’mores cookies too :)
Medha-
Great idea, thanks so much for stopping by.

I make a cake using either graham cracker crumbs or ‘Nilla wafers. The idea of cookies sounds great. I will have to try this soon.

I hope you get the chance to try them. Thanks for visiting.

Are those semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate? Or does it make any difference?
Cheryl-
Milk chocolate chips were used but semi-sweet would work too. I hope this helps.

Adding graham cracker crumbs to cookie dough is a fabulous idea! Definitely need to try!
