S'mores Cookie Bars

I made these for home fellowship last night. Seemed like a good summer dessert. This is a recipe that I tore out of mom's magazine...All You. I don't know where they got it from.

S'mores Cookie Bars
2 cups flour
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 sticks butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups marshmallow topping (like Fluff)
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350. In large bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture. Divide dough in half. Press half of dough into pain until dough is uniform and flat. Spread with fluff and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Scatter remaining dough over in clumps. Don't worry about covering the top; marshmallow and chocolate chips should peek through. Bake for 30-35 mintues, or until golden brown. Place on wire rack to cool completely.

These were so yummy!! In the kitchen prior to home fellowship actually starting, a couple of mommies taste tested these to make sure they would be appropriate for the children. I thought that was nice of them. These were a big hit. Sam said "finally, something good at home fellowship." Usually they don't like the desserts I make for home fellowship, because they're more grown-uppy. But there are always pretzels and chips and fruit/veggies and whatever there. Kids are easy to please with simple things, and I like to make yummy desserts. I don't care if the kids don't like them. Because usually the grown-ups do. Just like kids would rather have mac & cheese instead of the yummy things I like to make. Oh well.
