Delightfully crisp and buttery Graham Cracker Cookies infused with a hint of vanilla and studded with rich chocolate chips. These cookies are easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and perfect for an everyday treat or sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it is at the right temperature when your cookies are ready to bake.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy, creating a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add Vanilla and Egg: Beat in the vanilla extract and the large egg thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing just until everything is incorporated to prevent overworking the dough.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure every cookie has a chocolatey bite.
  7. Portion Dough: Using a medium cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. They may look slightly underdone but will firm up nicely as they cool.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or white chocolate chips as desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week for best freshness.
  • For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
