- 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120g) graham cracker crumbs (about 9 full graham crackers, finely crushed)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Mix-ins:
- 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
- Toppings:
- Additional graham cracker crumbs for sprinkling
- Extra chocolate chips or chunks for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Mix-ins:
- Using a spatula, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, which is ideal for a chewy texture.
- Add Toppings:
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a few extra chocolate chips or chunks into the tops for a gooey appearance. Sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
- Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage:ย Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing:ย You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an extra minute to the baking time.
- Customization:ย For an extra touch, consider adding a small piece of a chocolate bar or a toasted marshmallow on top of each cookie after baking.
