Chocolate Chip S'more Cookie Bars

Chocolate chips are a classic. S'mores are a classic. Combine the two, and you have created a masterpiece that satisfies that craving for home baked goodness. Admittedly, I cheated a little and used a packaged cookie mix. I know, I know, they are not that good and all that. But, I wanted to bake and I'm all about convenience. So, essentially you're going to layer cookie dough, then s'more ingredients, then cookie dough.

Ingredients:
1 Package premade chocolate chip cookie dough (either the break and bake, or a pouch mix, whatever you prefer- Or feel free to use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe)
15 large marshmellows
10 graham crackers
5 hershey's chocolate bars- optional. I omitted these because I was trying to curb the sweetness because I was making this for someone without much of a sweet tooth. however.. I think they would be WAY better with this ingredient. If you're on the fence about using it, I say use the chocolate! You can never have too much for my taste.

Directions:

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees. line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Mix your prepackaged dough according to the directions, or make your recipe. If you are using premade dough, you dont need to do anything.
3. when you have your dough, take half (enough for 12-15 cookies) and line the bottom of your lined baking dish with it. it will be thin and difficult to spread. Remember that cookies inflate when baked so the layer won't be as thin in the final product as it is when it's still dough.
4. layer the graham crackers on top of the dough, do not break them unless you need to do so to make them fit.
5. using a microwave safe dish, put your marshmallows in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until they have puffed up and are able to be stirred into a cream. (you could probably use marshmallow creme for this as well, but I have not tried it)
6. spread the melted marshmallows onto the graham cracker layer.
7. layer the chocolate bars on top of the marshmallows.
8. layer another layer graham crackers on top of the chocolate.
9. finally, spread the remaining chocolate chip cookie dough over the top of the grahams. This makes for a very thick looking bar, but they bake down a bit.
10. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and soft set.
11. allow to cool completely, and then cut.

Enjoy!
