Ingredients
butter
1 cup (softened)
brown sugar
1/2 cup (packed)
egg
1
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups
graham cracker crumbs
1 cup

mini marshmallows

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to beat the mixture until fully incorporated.
4
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, and salt. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute, or until a stiff dough forms.
5
Using a heaping teaspoon, scoop the dough and roll it into 60 balls. Place the dough balls on ungreased cookie sheets, ensuring they are 2 inches apart.
6
With your thumb, create an indent in the center of each dough ball.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm and just beginning to brown around the edges.
8
Remove the cookies from the oven and lightly press 2 mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie before returning them to the oven. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows are just starting to puff up.
9
Remove the cookies from the oven and top each melted marshmallow with one rectangle of milk chocolate. Let them stand for a minute to soften, then use a knife to gently smear the melted chocolate over the marshmallow.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet until the chocolate is set before transferring them to a wire rack.
