These immediately made the favorites list! I used 1/2 regular graham cracker crumbs and 1/2 chocolate graham cracker crumbs… made an ugly cookie but man are they delicious! Will use only regular graham crumbs next time so they look a little less like poo. I did not add nuts but used a few extra chocolate candies. Cooked perfectly in 9 minutes. Cooled first 3 minutes on sheet as instructed. They are soft and perfect. To be honest I’ve only eaten them warm so far but I know they’ll be just as amazing tomorrow!

excellent recipe. used peanut butter chips and chocolate chips, and the taste combination with the graham crackers was excellent.
Elizabeth Casey
This is one of the best cookie recipes my family and I have made and we have been using this recipe for years now. We turn these into smores cookies which is great because of the graham crackers in it. We add Kraft mallow bits and chocolate chips. Everyone that has tried these go crazy for it. They’re always requesting that I make more.

Took nearly 19 minutes to bake. My 10 year old made these and turned out fine except the bake time was not accurate for us. Great easy recipe with easy pantry ingredients.
Claire Perry
These came out quite good. I used a little more Graham crumbs and only chocolate chips. Baked them 11 minutes til golden. These crisped up as they cooled. I got 42 nice thick cookies. Will make again!

These might be the best cookies I’ve ever made! I added Skor bits and everything else was as listed. I doubled the recipe and ended up with a worrying amount of cookies, what a problem to have 😉

I made this recipe a little differently and I actually like it better this way. I made the graham cracker cookie with no additional mix ins. After I pull it from oven I sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and half each marshmallow covering the whole pan. I put it back in on broil to brown the marshmallows. The reason I like it better is because you have a layer of graham goodness, chocolate and finally the marshmallow. Its amazing!

This is my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe now! The first time I made it, I didn’t make any changes. The next time I left out the candy. It was way too much chocolate for me. And that’s coming from a chocoholic ??I stopped adding the marshmallows that another reviewer recommended, because they stick to the pan and add too much sugar. I made them tonight and didn’t have any pecans. I would never have guessed using walnuts instead, would cause such a difference in flavor. I will never make them without again. To summarize, the graham crackers really make this recipe special!
Maria Jenkins
Only change I made was to leave out the pecans. These are really yummy. Great just out of the oven and still really good the next day. Not a strong graham cracker taste though.

I made these today. I added butterscotch chips, semi sweet chips, chopped walnuts and coconut. I mirrored seven layer bars. They are FANTASTIC!
Cody Johnson
Flavor is terrific, but I also made them as s’mores and as someone previously said they stuck too much to the cookie sheet. So I baked them as bars and that was the ideal way!
Jessica Cox
OMG! These are sooooo wonderful! Made them for our cookout with neighbors and everyone loved them!! Used dark chocolate Nestle morsels and might add more next time but that is only my personal preference. Thank you for a wonderful recipe .
Kathryn Ward
I used butter-flavored shortening instead of butter. I skipped the M & M’s because I thought two cups of chocolate chips and the pecans would be rich enough. My husband loved them so I’ll make them again using butter and adding some M & M’s.
Vanessa Simmons
i could taste the graham cracker, its like eating a pie crust. i followed the recipe exactly.

Following Amanadabix review, I Made these using hershey bars broken up into chunks &mini marshmallows. They tasted just like a smore. I think using the hershey’s chocolate specifically & the marshmallows allowed the flavor of the graham to be more pronounced. Yum! Also, I made a double batch of this but omitted the chocolate & nuts. I put 1/2 in the bottom of a 9×13″ pan. Then layered chocolate bars across it, then a layer of marshmallow fluff, then topped with the other half of this dough. Baked at 375*F for 15-20 min and Tasted like a S’mores Cookie Bar!

I followed the recipe exactly but do not plan on making again. The dough was crumbly and did not stay together well enough to form solid cookies.
Angela Torres
Everyone really liked them! I only added chocolate chips to the batter since I did not have nuts or coconut on hand. I put the dough in the fridge for about 2 hours to make handling it easier. They have a real buttery flavor and nice crunch!
Brenda Travis
great recipe started eating before they into the oven and even after (where the real test is), and these were really good!
Austin Watkins
Family loved it. Will definitely make again.
Jacob Gonzalez
