Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)
  • 20 large marshmallows, cut in half
  • 24 Hershey’s Kisses chocolates

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, indicating the sugars are well incorporated.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture until fully combined, creating a homogenous batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which could make the cookies tough.
  6. Form Dough Balls: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Then roll the dough ball in the remaining 1/4 cup of graham cracker crumbs to coat it evenly.
  7. Shape and Bake Cookies: Place each coated dough ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, signaling they are done.
  8. Add Marshmallows: Remove the cookies from the oven and gently press a half marshmallow, sticky side down, onto the center of each warm cookie. Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature, letting the marshmallows set slightly.
  9. Broil Marshmallows: Once cooled, preheat the broiler. Place the cookies back onto the baking sheet and broil for 30 to 60 seconds, watching closely as the marshmallows toast and bubble without burning.
  10. Add Hershey’s Kisses: Remove the cookies from the broiler immediately and press a Hershey’s Kiss onto the center of each toasted marshmallow, allowing slight melting and perfect chocolatey finish.

Notes

  • Watch the broiler carefully to avoid burning the marshmallows—they toast quickly.
  • You can substitute Hershey’s Kisses with any favorite chocolate for variation.
  • Letting the cookies cool slightly before adding marshmallows helps maintain their shape during broiling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and flour.
