So, there I was standing in the pantry, feeling like I needed a cookie. Then I saw the oats and thought, hey, I’ll make some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Then I saw the graham crackers and I thought, nope. Forget the oats. I’m grinding up some graham crackers and turning them into cookies. A cracker cookie! A delicious, chocolate filled graham cracker cookie that makes me weep with joy.
So, that’s how these happened. Now you know.
The texture is a bit different from your average cookie and the flavor really does shout graham crackers if you ask me. The melty chocolate chips are optional, except not, because chocolate.
Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Cookies – a cracker cookie? Yep, and it’s delicious!
Just wait until you see what I do to this cookie base next time. I have grand plans. Oh, do I have grand plans. UPDATED: I turned these into s’mores cookies!
Enjoy these cookies any time when you follow the instructions for how to freeze cookies!
Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy
- Beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underdone, but should set up nicely as they cool.
What do you think of using butterscotch chips instead of chocolate since that is what i have on hand?
Hello! I haven’t attempted this recipe with this substitution, so I am not sure of the result. They sound delicious, though! If you happen to give it a try, I’d love to know how they turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by.

i just had a really quick question. so i’m planning on making these and do they spread out a lot? and if they do is there anyway that they can hold shape?
I have 2 packages of anise pizzelles.
We’re not crazy about these cookies…do you have an idea of how to put these to good use…a yummy dessert?

Fabulous easy recipe! I made vegan by using vegan butter and Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer, and used cinnamon graham crackers and semi sweet chocolate chips. I did have to flatten a little before baking and seven minutes was perfect.

Hi. I used cinnamon generic graham crackers I didn’t like and wanted to get rid of so…..I used them in your recipe. I also added mini marshmallows. Results were FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you so much for a really great cookie!

Just before these are done, pull them out and put 3 mini marshmallows on each, then put them back in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
As soon as they come out of the oven, sandwich them together and they are the most amazing s’mores ever… Eat them warm
So happy to hear you enjoyed the cookies! That sounds so delicious. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your feedback!
