INSTRUCTIONS

  •  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Crush graham crackers inside a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin (crush crumbs to desired level of coarse or fine).
  • Pour crushed graham crackers into a medium bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, & salt and mix together so that all the crackers are coated with the melted butter.  
  • In a large bowl, add 1 cup softened butter and sugars, beat until creamy.
  • Add eggs, milk, & vanilla and mix again until those are all incorporated.
  • In another medium bowl, add flour, salt, baking soda, & baking powder and combine.
  • Add flour mixture and graham cracker crumbs to the wet mixture and stir together.

  • Gently stir in the milk chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 1 inch size balls onto the cookie sheet.
  • Bake cookies for about 7 minutes.  (Ours were big, so we baked for 7 -8 mins depending on the average sizes on a sheet.)
  • Remove tray from the oven and top each cookie with ¼ piece of marshmallow.
  • Place cookie sheet back into the oven to bake for 1 ½ minutes.
  • Remove again from the oven and let cool for about 2 minutes.
  • Top the marshmallows with ¼ piece of the snack sized Hershey bar.
  • Allow to rest for a couple more minutes on cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.
  • Cool cookies for about 2 hours before sharing (eat much sooner if desired, but chocolate and marshmallow will be softer & gooey-er - we liked them that way!)

The recipe takes about 25 minutes from preparation to full cook time, and serves from 60-80 depending on sizing (ours were big - so the batch made about 45+).  These are a so delicious - a new favorite in our home!  Dig in!
