Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 ounces (142g) graham crackers (about 1 full sleeve)
  • 1 3/4 cups (245g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients and Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, very soft
  • 3/4 cup (161g) packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (12 ounces) roughly chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
  • About 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Make the graham cracker crumbs: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely broken down.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Beat the butter and sugars: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is thick and well combined. Scrape down the sides and remove any hard sugar clumps.
  4. Mix in the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth, about 10 to 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as needed.
  5. Add the dry ingredients: Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients all at once. Beat on low speed just until no dry streaks remain, around 20 to 40 seconds.
  6. Mix in the chocolate: Fold in or beat on low speed the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Chill the dough: Cover the dough bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days to firm up. You can also freeze individual scoops for up to 3 months.
  8. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the middle. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Bake one sheet at a time for even baking, or two sheets if your oven allows.
  9. Scoop the dough: Using a medium cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, place cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and gently press 3 to 4 mini marshmallows on top of each cookie.
  11. Finish baking: Return the cookies to the oven and bake for 2 to 3 more minutes until the marshmallows puff up and start to melt at the bottom.
  12. Cool the cookies: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes until the marshmallow centers collapse slightly and the cookies firm up. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Repeat: Continue baking remaining dough in batches until all cookies and marshmallows are used.
  14. Store and enjoy: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container with wax paper between layers for up to one week at room temperature. Marshmallows may stick to the paper slightly; remove gently when serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves texture.
  • To save time, you can freeze scooped dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to baking time.
  • For variation, try mixing in different types of chocolate such as milk, dark, or white chocolate pieces.
  • You may add the marshmallows either halfway through baking as described or fold some mini marshmallows into the dough before chilling for gooey pockets throughout.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
