Ready Time

30 mins

Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If using, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 4 cookies.

Notes

Make sure to use fresh graham cracker crumbs for the best flavor.

You can also crush your own graham crackers in a food processor if you don’t have pre-crushed crumbs.

These cookies will have a slightly chewy center if you take them out at 12 minutes, and a crispy edge if you take them out at 14 minutes – so it’s up to you! If you choose to add chopped nuts or chocolate chips, be gentle when folding them in so they don’t get crushed.

You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Freeze for longer storage.

Keep an eye on the cookies while they’re baking, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.
