Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 box graham crackers
FILLING
3/4 c butter (1 1/2 sticks) softened to room temp
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1 c pecan bits
1 c shredded coconut
1 c graham cracker crumbs
TOPPING
3 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 + 1/8 c butter, room temp
2 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 9 x 13 pan with whole graham crackers.
  • 2. Melt butter in a saucepan and add sugar. Beat the egg and milk together; add to butter mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add the nuts, coconut, and graham cracker crumbs. Pour over the crackers in the pan. Cover with another layer of whole graham crackers.
  • 3. Beat all the topping ingredients together and spread it over the top layer of crackers. It's stiff when you spread it. Chill. The cookies will soften to perfection. Cut into about 15 squares (or 20 in a pinch).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. This means using real butter, sugar, and eggs, as well as high-quality flour and chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. For chewy cookies, bake at a lower temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit). For crispy cookies, bake at a higher temperature (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown.
