Ingredients

  • 4 graham crackers
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 small hershey’s chocolate bar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 10 tablespoons room temperature butter (140 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 1: Prep Ingredients

Chop 4 graham crackers into rough pieces and set them aside in a bowl.

Cut 1 cup of mini marshmallows in half, saving a few for topping the cookies.

Roughly chop a Hershey’s chocolate bar and set aside.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups (180 grams) of all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Set this mixture aside for later use.

Step 3: Prepare Wet Ingredients

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together 10 tablespoons (140 grams) of room temperature butter, ¼ cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of packed brown sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy.

Add 1 room temperature egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until almost combined.

Stir in the chopped graham crackers, ¾ cup of chocolate chips, and the halved marshmallows until evenly distributed.

Cover the bowl with the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.

Step 5: Shape and Top the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll about 2 tablespoons of chilled dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.

Gently flatten the cookie dough balls and top with reserved marshmallow pieces and chopped Hershey’s chocolate.

Step 6: Bake the Cookies

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

For a different presentation, you can bake the cookies for 8 minutes without toppings, then quickly add the marshmallows and chocolate on top and bake for an additional 2 minutes.

Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy!
