Delicious s’mores caramel cookie bars, the best sweet treat. 

  • Yield9 servings

Ingredients

COOKIE DOUGH

  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (72 g) powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp (1.5 g) fine sea salt
  • 2 eggs, medium-sized, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
  • 2 2/3 cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (85 g) milk chocolate callets

LAYER

  • 1/2 cup (34 g) mini marshmallows
  • 7 large marshmallows
  • 4 graham crackers, salty, crushed
  • 1 Milka caramel chocolate bar
  • ½ Ghirardelli sea salt caramel chocolate bar

Instructions

  1. To prepare smores caramel cookie bars, we will start by browning the butter. In a light colored saucepan, melt 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter. After it melts, it will start to bubble. Make sure to continue stirring, and once it stops bubbling, it turns a nice golden brown, then amber. Turn off the stove and let the butter cool for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add ½ cup (72 g) powdered sugar, 2/3 cup (140 g) brown sugar, and ¼ tsp (1.5 g) fine sea salt. Add the brown butter and mix well using a whisk.
  3. To this mixture, add 2 room-temperature medium-sized eggs and whisk again. Add 2 ½ tsp (10 g) baking powder and 2 2/3 cups (320 g) all-purpose flour, and using a spatula, combine them. Don’t overmix.
  4. Add ½ cup (85 g) milk chocolate callets and combine.
  5. Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, and spread half of the cookie dough so it covers the bottom of the pan. Break 4 graham crackers and sprinkle them on top. Add ½ cup (34 g) of mini marshmallows and 7 large marshmallows.
  6. Add 1 whole Milka Chocolate bar that’s distributed over the base. Cover with the rest of the cookie dough. It doesn’t have to cover the marshmallows too much.
  7. Preheat the oven to 355 F (180C). Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and once the oven is at the right temperature, bake for 40 minutes covered, the last 10 minutes uncovered. Break ½ of the Ghirardelli bar and add it around the baked cookie. It will melt with the residual heat.
  8. After the baking time, let it cool for at least 1 hour.
  9. Slice and serve.
