Graham Cracker Cookie Bars

I got this recipe off of the back of a graham cracker box, and I could not believe how yummy they were! I have not made them with plain graham crackers, so I just used my own best judgement in estimating the additions of granulated sugar and cinnamon to compensate.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 16
• Yields: 16 bars

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup  packed brown sugar
• 1  egg
• 2  tablespoons milk
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 16  whole cinnamon graham crackers, crushed fine to make 2 cups (or plain, with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon added)
• 1⁄2 cup flaked coconut
• 1⁄2 cup milk or 1⁄2 cup  semisweet chocolate piece
•  sifted confectioners' sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease a 9 inch square pan (I used an 8 inch square pan and it worked fine).
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.
4. Add egg, milk, and vanilla.
5. Beat just until blended, the mixture will be grainy.
6. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and chocolate until just mixed.
7. Spread evenly in pan.
8. Bake 25 to 27 minutes until lightly browned on top.
9. Cool and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
10. Cut into bars and serve.
