Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, ensuring even surface coverage.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- For best texture, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Optional: Warm briefly before serving to recreate that fresh-from-the-oven gooey marshmallow experience.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best mixing results. This helps create a fluffy cookie dough that bakes evenly.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This can enhance the flavor and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips pair wonderfully with the sweetness of the marshmallows and graham crackers.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Every oven is different, so start checking your cookies at the 10-minute mark. You want the edges to be set while the centers remain slightly soft for that perfect chewy texture.
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness. If you want to enjoy that gooey marshmallow effect again, warm them briefly in the microwave before serving.
