Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder (use dark cocoa powder for richer cookies)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Mix-ins & Toppings

1 cup roughly chopped graham crackers
1 cup chopped Hershey bars (about 2 full size candy bars)
12 large marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated and the batter is uniform.
Add Dry Ingredients and Mix-ins: Lower the speed of the mixer, then add the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and flour gradually. Gently fold in the roughly chopped graham crackers and Hershey chocolate chunks to evenly disperse them throughout the dough.
Shape Cookies and Add Marshmallows: Using a medium cookie scoop (around 2 tablespoons), portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dough ball with your hands and place a marshmallow in the center. Wrap the dough mostly around the marshmallow, leaving a small part of the marshmallow visible on top to ensure it peeks through when baked.
Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges set but the centers remain soft and gooey. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular.
Ensure butter is softened but not melted for perfect creaming with sugars.
Do not overbake; centers should remain gooey for the best texture.
Chopping chocolate bars roughly creates delightful melty pockets in cookies.
To easily remove marshmallows, let cookies cool completely before handling.
