- Graham cracker crumbs: 1 cup, for that essential s’mores flavor

Easy How-To
Let’s Get Cooking!
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C if you’re on that metric train). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper because nobody likes a sticky situation. In a big bowl, mix your brownie mix with those two eggs, the oil, and a teaspoon of vanilla… stir it up until it’s nice and smooth. Then, in another bowl—which you might as well clean up later—cream together butter (just go with softened butter) and both sugars until it’s all creamy and dreamy. Toss in the eggs and the rest of your vanilla, too. Once that’s mixed well, gently fold in your flour, baking soda, and salt until it’s all combined. Now here’s the fun part: mix the two doughs together, but don’t overdo it… the marbling is part of its charm! Oh, and don’t forget to fold in those chocolate chips—yum!
Good to Know
- A tip to prevent spreading? Chill your dough for about 30 minutes before baking… trust me, it helps!
- You can absolutely experiment with flavors—different chocolate, or even nuts, if you’re feeling adventurous.
Serving Ideas
- Try serving these cookies warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence…
Top Tricks
- Want more chocolate flavor? Use high-quality chocolate bars instead of chips—it makes a huge difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Oh, totally! You can switch it up with milk or white chocolate, but just keep in mind it will change the flavor profile a bit. But hey, chocolate is chocolate, right?
What if I don’t have graham cracker crumbs?
No worries at all! You can use any crunchy cookie you have around—like crushed Digestives or even vanilla wafers work in a pinch…
How do I store the cookies?
Just pop them in an airtight container, and they should be good at room temperature for about a week. Or, if you can resist, freeze some and save them for a rainy day!
Can I add nuts to the batter?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts can add a nice crunch. Walnuts or pecans work wonderfully if you ask me…
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yup! You can swap in a gluten-free flour blend, just make sure all your other ingredients are also certified gluten-free, and you’re all set.
