Graham and Chocolate Cookie Bars

Getting snacky again.  I decided to turn s'mores cookies into bars, with the graham crackers at the bottom.  All it really took was adding some melted butter to the smashed crackers for the crust and replacing them in the batter with flour.  This basically returned it to a half-batch of Tollhouse, just with an extra layer of marshmallows.  Then the marshmallows melted and disappeared in the oven, so I'm omitting them here.

*6 sheets graham crackers, crushed
2 Tb butter or margarine
1 stick (1/2 C) margarine
6 Tb brown sugar
1/4 C granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking soda
1-1/4 C flour
1 C chocolate chips (can be milk chocolate)

1.  Melt first two tablespoons of butter and combine with crushed graham crackers.  Press into an 8"x8" baking dish.  It will be crumbly and dry, but you don't want it too damp because some of the butter from the layer above is going to soak into it as well.  Preheat oven to 350º.

2.  In mixer with the paddle, beat together stick of margarine and both sugars until fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.  Add in flour and baking soda and beat until creamy.  Stir in chocolate chips.

3.  Drop batter evenly in baking dish.  Smooth batter; it's fine if there are a few gaps, since the dough will spread in the oven.  Try not to disturb the crust.  Bake for about 30 minutes, until dark golden brown.

This isn't dark enough.  I put it back in for 10 more minutes

4.  Allow to cool in pan until set, about 30-45 minutes.  Cut into bars and remove from pan.

Makes 16-20, depending on how you slice it
