The Flavour: If you are a graham cracker fan, then this cookie is the ultimate ode to them. It speaks all about graham crackers with its base and topping all having crushed crackers. This, combined with cream cheese frosting, gives you the experience of eating a cheesecake.
Unique Recipe: Trust me when I say this cookie is not something everyone bakes. It’s a unique cookie (Thanks to Crumbl for bringing it), and you may wanna save it for special occasions.
The Texture: These cookies are moist, soft, and chewy in nature. They are a desert in themselves. The cheesecake frosting as topping really builds the flavor and makes you feel like you are eating a cheesecake itself.
Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe
Butter: Butter has been used in all three components of the cookie. Salted butter at room temperature for the cookie base, melted salted butter for the top crumble, and softened unsalted butter for the frosting. Consistency is the key here as all three elements are different and require unique consistency of butter.
Graham Crackers: Use a fresh pack of Graham crackers for the best results. The flavor goes into the cookies using crushed crackers, and the crumble on top also requires powdered crackers.
Sugar: A combination of castor and brown sugar ensures a proper mix of crisp and chewy texture. Castor sugar helps get crispy edges, while brown sugar makes the cookies moist and chewy.
Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for the frosting. Do not use cream cheese that is too hard or too runny.
Rising Agents: Both baking soda and baking powder have been used in the recipe as they provide the appropriate height and spread to the cookies.
