Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups (320 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
• 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking powder
• 1 cup (90 grams) crushed cinnamon graham crackers
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 cup (227 grams) butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup (165 grams) brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon (5 grams) vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup (117 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup (88 grams) roughly chopped milk chocolate
• 1 cup (50 grams) mini marshmallows, for dough
• 2 cups (100 grams) mini marshmallows, for filling

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, cinnamon (if using), baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Break the graham crackers into small pieces, avoiding turning them into powder. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Cream the butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Step 4: Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Step 5: Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
6. Step 6: Fold in the crushed graham crackers, semi-sweet and milk chocolate, and 1 cup mini marshmallows carefully.
7. Step 7: Scoop a tablespoon of dough and flatten slightly, creating a small indentation in the center.
8. Step 8: Fill the indentation with 4 to 5 mini marshmallows, packing them tightly. Cover with about 2 teaspoons of dough and seal completely so marshmallows are enclosed.
9. Step 9: Repeat with the remaining dough and marshmallows. Optionally, top each cookie with extra chocolate or marshmallows for decoration.
10. Step 10: Place cookies on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, up to 3 days.
11. Step 11: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Step 12: Bake the chilled cookies for 8 to 9 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
13. Step 13: Remove cookies with a spatula and cool on a wire rack. For quicker cooling, place near a fan.
14. Step 14: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container and enjoy within 24 hours for best texture.

Tips & Variations

• For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
• If you want a nuttier twist, add chopped toasted pecans or walnuts into the dough.
• Make sure to pack the marshmallows tightly inside the dough to prevent leakage during baking.
• Chilling the dough overnight enhances the flavors and helps the cookies hold their shape.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours to maintain their gooey texture. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a sealed container for up to one month. Reheat briefly in a low-temperature oven to revive softness and melty marshmallows.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Mini marshmallows work best to fit inside the cookie dough and melt evenly. Using regular-sized marshmallows may cause them to melt out during baking.

What if I don’t have cinnamon graham crackers?

You can substitute with plain graham crackers or digestive biscuits. Adding a small amount of ground cinnamon can help replicate the flavor if desired.

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon (if using), baking soda, and baking powder. Stir these together and set aside.
2. Prepare Graham Crackers: Crush the cinnamon graham crackers into small pieces, making sure to avoid turning them entirely into powder. Some fine crumbs are acceptable. Set them aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Slowly add the whole egg and then the egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
6. Fold in Flavorings: Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped milk chocolate, and 1 cup of mini marshmallows into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
7. Form Cookies with Marshmallow Filling: Take a tablespoon-sized portion of cookie dough and create a small indentation in the center. Stuff tightly with 4–5 mini marshmallows. Cover the marshmallows with another 2 teaspoons of dough and press to seal completely. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and marshmallows. Optionally, top the cookies with additional chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows for decoration.
8. Chill Dough: Place the prepared cookies on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight or up to three days to enhance flavor and texture.
9. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
10. Bake Cookies: Remove plastic wrap and bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
11. Cool Cookies: Use a spatula to transfer the cookies onto a wire rack. To cool them quickly and evenly, place the rack near a fan if available.
12. Serve or Store: Enjoy the cookies immediately for the gooey marshmallow experience, or store them in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours for best quality.

Notes

• Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother dough consistency.
• Chilling the dough before baking is crucial to prevent spreading and improve flavor.
• Do not overbake; the cookies should be slightly soft in the center when removed.
• For an extra gooey center, add more mini marshmallows in the filling.
• Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature but are best eaten within a day.
• Experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon for deeper flavor if desired.
