Ingredients
Scale
- Graham Cracker Cookie:
- 1½ cups (333g) salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (173g) granulated sugar
- 1½ cups (369g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3¾ cups (570g) all-purpose flour
- 2 sleeves (300g) graham crackers, crushed (approx 2½ cups crumbs)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- Cheesecake Frosting:
- 16 oz (454g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 7 oz (198g) marshmallow creme
- 2 cups (214g) powdered sugar
- Toppings:
- ⅓ cup (98g) caramel dip
- Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
- 3. Combine flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture; mix until just combined.
- 4. Portion dough into ½ cup balls (makes 12 large cookies). Roll in additional graham cracker crumbs if desired, place on sheets, and gently flatten to 1-inch thick. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
- 5. For frosting: Whip cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then marshmallow creme; mix until fluffy.
- 6. Pipe or spread frosting in spirals on cooled cookies. Drizzle with caramel dip in zigzag pattern and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- Use caramel dip (thicker) not sauce to prevent sliding off.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smooth dough and frosting.
- Chill frosted cookies for Crumbl-style texture; store in fridge up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies up to 2 months; thaw at room temp.
- Makes 12 giant cookies; halve dough for smaller sizes and adjust bake time.
