Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together ¾ cup of butter, ⅓ cup of brown sugar, and ⅓ cup of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. The mixture should become light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs to the creamed mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of flour, ½ tsp of salt, ½ tsp of baking soda, and ½ tsp of baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Slowly incorporate 1½ cups of finely crushed graham crackers into the dough, blending just until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough using a 2-inch cookie scoop, then roll it in the remaining crushed graham crackers before placing them on the lined cookie sheets. Flatten each ball to about ¾ of an inch thick.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Let them cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- To make the frosting, cream together 8 oz of softened butter, 8 oz of softened cream cheese, and 2 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add 2½ cups of powdered sugar, mixing until light and fluffy.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward.
- Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs on top of the frosted cookies, then serve and enjoy these decadent delights!
Notes
For best results, ensure that your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature – this will help create a creamy texture. Don't overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain a tender cookie. Consider mixing in a tablespoon of lemon juice or zest for a bit of tanginess in the frosting.
