Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, stirring gently.
Fold in graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Spread half of the cookie batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle mini marshmallows on top. Then, spread the remaining batter over.
Top with extra chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick should come out with moist crumbs.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and enjoy!
