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!
Graham Cracker Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 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
- Preheat oven to 350 degres.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes.
- Cookies will look slightly underdone, but should set up nicely as they cool.

Oh Karly, these look just delicious! I’m a big cookie baker and the whole house just loves any cookie I make. These look mouth watering, really. The last picture really got me though. Why can’t I just electronically take some through the computer? That’d be too easy, huh? Haha. 🙂

I love cookies! I need to try this recipe very soon! Yummy!
christine says
is there anything different in this recipe for high altitude?
Karly says
Hi @christine,
I’m afraid I really can’t help you with that. I have never baked in a higher altitude, so I have no knowledge or experience with it.
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says

I think I may broil a marshmallow on top! I make a hot chocolate cookie with one, but I think it would be amazing on this!
Karly says
Yum! That’ll be amazing!
Erin | The Law Student's Wife says
Soooo totally wish I had magical Harry Potter powers. I would make one of these cookies appear in front of me rightthismoment! I love love graham crackers but have never tried them in a cookie. Karly, you are brilliant 🙂
Karly says

Thanks, Erin!
Belinda@themoonblushbaker says
Love when a cookie and kitchen raid some together and just work. The texture of the graham crackers must make these so addictive! not to mention the chocolate.
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
Pretty sure my eyeballs seriously popped out of my face at that last picture. THE MELTY CHOCOLATE.
I love that you used graham crackers here! I mean, i love a classic chocolate chip cookie, but a little twist is always fun. Variety is the spice of life.
So is chocolate.
Karly says
@Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness,
Mostly chocolate, but yeah. Variety, too. 🙂
Linda says
I saw many replies from people excited to try but who had not yet made these cookies. I did make them, and they are DELICIOUS! Â They have body to them, and they are really moist. Â Nice chip to dough ratio, too. I stumbled upon this recipe when trying to find a way to use up some graham cracker crumbs. I will definitely make these again and again. They were a big hit with adults and kids alike. Thank you for crafting this yummy recipe! Â Â
Karly says
So glad you enjoyed them!
