Dry 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)
Wet Ingredients
- 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
Add-ins
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
