Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs one full package of 9 whole crackers
- 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 small tub 7 oz, marshmallow cream
- 18-20 ounces dipping chocolate or chocolate almond bark
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Beat together brown sugar and butter until fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined well.
- Add dry ingredients and beat until combined.
- Shape dough into a ball and place onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll dough 1/4" thick.
- Use a 3" cookie cutter to create 18-20 cookie rounds. You will need to re-roll the scraps of the dough just like you would sugar cookies.
- Place rounds onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Spread 2 tablespoons marshmallow cream onto the bottom side of a cookie. Gently press another cookie on top.
- Repeat until you have 9-10 moonpies. Freeze for 20 minutes.
- Heat chocolate according to package directions and dredge moonpies into chocolate, flipping over to coat both sides. Let stand to harden on wax paper. Repeat until all moonpies are covered with chocolate.
