Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, salted or unsalted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup graham crackers finely crushed (about 3.5 sheets)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
Layers
- 5 standard Hershey bars
- 1 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, finely crushed graham crackers, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir just until the flour mixture disappears, avoiding overmixing.
- Press and chill the dough layers: Divide the dough in half. Press half of the dough evenly onto the prepared baking pan. Remove the parchment from the pan and place it in the freezer. Re-line the pan with fresh parchment paper and press the remaining dough evenly on it.
- Assemble the bars: Place the Hershey chocolate bars evenly over the dough on the pan, breaking pieces if necessary to cover the surface. Spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer. Carefully flip the chilled dough layer from the freezer over the marshmallow fluff, pressing gently to keep it intact.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely before slicing to achieve clean cross-sections and optimal texture.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices.
- Chilling the dough layer helps prevent tearing when flipping.
- Feel free to swap Hershey bars with your favorite milk or dark chocolate.
- For extra gooeyness, toast the marshmallow fluff slightly under broiler before assembling.
- Ensure bars are fully cooled before slicing to avoid crumbling.
