Bad-Ass Peanut Butter Chocolate Graham Cracker Mud Cookies

Soft and Crunchy peanut butter cookies made with chocolate graham crackers! 9 ingredients to the best Peanut Butter Chocolate Graham Cracker Cookies your kids are going to flip over! Cookies made with cookies, this is serious cookie eats. We call them mud cookies around here, I’ll explain why.

These cookies are bad-ass if I do say so myself. The funnest part? Watching your kids light up like the forth of July when you put a big brand new box of CHOCOLATE graham crackers in the grocery cart.

My kids love anything chocolate. I mean, so do I of course and who doesn’t get excited thinking about chocolate flavored graham crackers with the little sugar crystals gleaming all over the tops?

Yup. Now you know what I am talking about.

Hawken and I made these cookies one day after we couldn’t decide whether to make peanut butter or chocolate chip. He is pretty creative when it comes to dreaming up dessert recipes and together we came up with this bad ass cookie which is like a perfect peanut butter cookie, soft but not too soft with just enough crispy bite to give you that rich buttery mouthful you crave in a peanut butter cookie. Plus it’s made from homemade Chocolate flour. How fun is that?!

Let me remind you how awesome you are as a parent (or auntie or grandpa) who uses cookies to MAKE cookies. Kids love that kind of stuff. Maybe we do too…

We named them Mud Cookies because the batter turns this rich, brown mud color after you mix it all together. A cookie batter that screams KIDS: EAT ME. We dreamed up all kinds of things to do with this batter to eat it raw and make it scary for little brother. Gummy worms at Halloween, chocolate chunks for rocks, Reeces Pieces for stepping stones, chocolate sprinkles for sticks and debris. Like father like son, I think Hawken would prefer a spoon and the entire bowl of peanut butter chocolate cookie dough in a quiet room with a little How it’s Made on the TV.

Personally, I think these would be even more awesome with a little vanilla ice cream or peanut butter icing sandwiched in between but Hawken is on a whip cream kick these days and thought this was the perfect way to eat his…
