Graham cracker dough baked in a pan with chocolate chips and Mallow Bits for the ultimate S'mores cookie bars.
Last year when this cooler weather arrived I got all crafty, and this year I'm feeling it again. I think I might finally decorate our front porch for the fall season. I saw the local landscape store finally has some hay bales for sale, which is what I've been waiting for! I have no idea how much they are charging for them. What is a good price for hay bales? I think I want about three of them next to my front door to hold a few pumpkins and maybe a scarecrow.
I should probably hit up Pinterest for some more inspiration. Is your front porch decorated? I'd love to hear ideas!
S’mores Graham Cracker Cookie Bars
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter , diced and very cold
- 1/3 cup honey
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Jet Puffed Vanilla Mallow Bits
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-x13-inch pan with nonstick spray; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal. (Alternatively, you can use a food processor instead.)
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk and vanilla. Add to the dry mixture and mix until a dough forms. Gently stir in the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the Mallow Bits.
- Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Mallow Bits evenly over the top. Use your hand to gently press them in so they stick. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
