What You’ll Need…

• 2 cups Remy’s Grahams 
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

What You’ll Do…

1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Process the Remy’s Grahams in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until they are completely broken down into crumbs and have a sandy texture. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add the sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine. Add the butter, egg, and vanilla, then stir together with a rubber spatula until just combined into a soft dough.
4. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, measure 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough from the bowl. Roll between the palms of your hands to form a ball, then place on the baking sheet. Repeat with forming the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake until the cookies have spread and the edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then use a flat spatula to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Plate em’ up and pour yourself a glass of your favorite variety of milk & enjoy!
