Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups (350g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (100g) graham cracker pieces, roughly chopped
Optional for topping: extra chocolate chunks, graham cracker crumbs, and mini marshmallows.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate the Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces.
- Scoop and Shape: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form large balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space for spreading. Press a few extra mix-ins onto the top of each cookie for a bakery-style look.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. This ensures a gooey texture.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
