Ingredients

graham cracker cookies

  • 1 cup butter cold
  • 1 cup brown sugar dark or light is fine
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour 390 grams
  • 1 cup + 1/4 cup graham crackers crushed
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

vanilla cream cheese frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temp
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temp
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

graham cracker streusel topping

  • 1 cup graham crackers crushed
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix again.
  2. Add flour, 1 cup of crushed graham crackers, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of crushed graham crackers to a bowl. Using a large (1/4 cup) cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball. Drop the dough ball into the crushed graham crackers and roll it around until it is lightly coated all over.
  4. Transfer the dough balls to a baking sheet, adding up to 6 on a standard baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. While the cookies cool, make the frosting and streusel. For the frosting, combine the butter and cream cheese. Mix for 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix again. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with a round tip.
  6. To make the streusel, combine the crushed graham crackers and butter. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet and bake (still at 350) for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and let the streusel cool completely.
  7. To assemble the cookies, pipe the frosting onto each cookie in a spiral. Add a handful of streusel. Enjoy!!
  8. Keep any extra cookies in a sealable container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
