Ingredients
Method
Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection). Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
Step 2
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, beat the room-temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and off-white in color, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses, mixing until just combined.
Step 3
- Add the all-purpose flour, crushed graham crackers, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon to the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the dough until no dry spots remain.
Step 4
- Press about ⅔ of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Spread the marshmallow cream cheese mixture over the dough in an even layer.
- Fold the chocolate chunks or chips into the remaining cookie dough, then drop it over the marshmallow layer in chunks (it does not need to fully cover the surface).
- Sprinkle with extra chocolate and graham cracker pieces, if desired.
Step 5
- Bake for 30–32 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden and the center is just set.
Step 6
- Allow the cookie bars to cool and chill for 45–60 minutes before slicing into 3×3 bars.
Step 7
- Enjoy fresh, or store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 days.
