The Graham Cracker Cookie Recipe You’ll Be Dreaming About

If you have ever had the opportunity to stay at WaterColor Inn located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, along 30A, then you can attest to the unmatched experience — white sandy beaches, beautiful pine forests along Western Lake, the sunset-level Adirondacks on each private balcony. It’s an intimate experience like no other. If you’ve stayed at WaterColor Inn, then you’re also familiar with their nightly turndown service, which includes a freshly baked treat, the choice of which is at the whim of Pastry Chef Nicholas Clark. Chef Clark has served as Pastry Chef at WaterColor Inn and at its award-winning restaurant, FOOW, for the past five years. There, he delights guests with inventive treats, each one following a theme – whether it’s a nod to the destination or to a summertime memory. One of Chef Clark’s most beloved recipes is the Graham Cracker Cookie Turndown Treat, which he created himself. “I wanted a cookie that reflected the destination’s Southern hospitality, with a take on a classic summertime staple that is reminiscent of s’mores and beach bonfires,” he shares. Having been on the turndown treat rotation for about a year, the Graham Cracker Cookie Turndown Treat is definitely a guest favorite. “They’ll tell us that one is simply not enough,” Chef Clark continues. “They’re always delighted to find them in their room after a long day at the beach. After all, who doesn’t love a nighttime treat?”
