For the Cookies

  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 0.5 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour measured correctly
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs lightly packed, about 9 full sheets

For the Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened, not melted
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened, not melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (Optional)

  • honey

Instructions
 

Cookie Preparation

  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Set aside and let cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Once cooled, pour into a large bowl. Add the brown and granulated sugar and stir well until completely incorporated and smooth.
  • Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk. Add vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Crush whole graham crackers until you have 1 cup of fine crumbs and add them to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll into balls and place on a parchment-paper-lined plate. Cover tightly and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Space 6 cookies per sheet and bake for 10–14 minutes, or until slightly browned at the edges. Immediately press the edges of each cookie inward with the back of a spoon. Let stand on the tray for 4 more minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely.

Frosting Preparation

  • In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is soft and creamy.

Assembly and Decoration

  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and pipe a swirl onto each cooled cookie. Optionally, garnish with crushed graham crackers, a piece of graham cracker, and a drizzle of honey.

Notes

If the frosting is too wet, add more powdered sugar. If it's too dry, add a touch of milk or cream.
