These graham cracker cookies are positively loaded with crushed graham crackers giving them an amazing taste with a soft and chewy texture!
My mama is always asking me how I come up with ideas for new recipes. And I’m all, I dunno, I guess I’m just magic?
Unfortunately, that’s a lie. I don’t have one magical bone in my body, which I think is crap. Why does Harry Potter get to have all the fun? Not fair, if you ask me.
Anyway, the other day I was in the mood to bake. I’ve also been running seriously low on blog recipes with the move and holidays both happening right around the same time. I basically took 4 weeks off of blog cooking and that’s kind of insane.
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.
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!
You’ll love my brown sugar cookies and double chocolate chip cookies too!

Can I use blueberries instead of chocolate chips? I really want a blueberry crumble flavored/type cookie and this is the closest I’ve been able to find. Thanks!
Karly says
Yes, that should work fine, though I haven’t tried it.

This recipe was a great way to use up graham wafers. Mine didnt spread out as much and i baked for 10 minutes instead of 7, may be the altitude where i live though

This recipe just replaced our previous favorite choc chip cookie recipe (which held that spot for 25 years!) I found it because I had graham crackers to use up… Wow!
