Chocolate Chip Graham Cookies

Submitted by startnover

"These are so rich and decadent. They are very moist, not a crisp cookie ever! They do not go stale quickly so they travel nicely. Great for holidays and special occasions. I have omitted the coconut before with out any problems."

I had to make this recipe as I was intrigued by the ingredients! I also had some graham crackers to use up. I used 1 package, which I crushed in the bag and it was a little more than 1 1/2 cups. I omitted the coconut, melted the butter, used 1/2 cup of pecans and added a cup of mini marshmallows because I was thinking "smores". I scooped out gobs of dough with my tablespoon. Mine baked at 350 for about 9 minutes. I removed them when the edges turned brown. They didn't look done but I trusted in the recipe and they did firm up. I let them cool on the cookie sheets. They are much better the next day, soft, a little chewy and sweet. Not much different from a really good chocolate chip cookie. I expected the graham cracker taste to come through but can't really taste it. The marshmallows were an inspired idea but melted away. They may have made the cookies slightly chewier and sweeter. I would like to try these as a bar cookie with the marshmallows added on top the last few minutes. Thank you for this wonderful fun recipe! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

these were good and stayed very soft. i found that the bottoms would wrinkle if i took them off the pan too soon and by too soon i mean less than 10 min so leave them on the pan. they would be fun to add different flavored chips to it also and the nuts are a must. these are like a 7 layer bar in a cookie form. and i liked that the dough didnt have any raw egg in it so it could be eaten worry free. the dough was delicious! thanks for a fun cookie

These cookies were yummy. I made sure to keep a close watch on the temprature and baking time, and mine did not burn, however, I had a really hard time with them sticking and falling apart. They are DEFINATELY soft! Thats for sure. Either way, the taste was very rich and delicious. Thank you for this recipe homegirl!

These had a good taste but the instructions were very vauge. I think that perhaps you need to grease the cookie sheet- mine stuck. Also my burned long before 8 minutes. Good tasting recipe, but instuctions could use some work.
