- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Directions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for later.
- In a larger bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

How to Prepare
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Creaming the butter and sugars together is a key step for a light texture, so take your time. When adding dry ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can lead to tough cookies. Finally, spacing the dough evenly on the baking sheet allows for even baking and perfect shape.
