Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt If used unsalted butter increase to ½ teaspoon
1 cup Jet Puffed Marshmallow Bits
1 cup chocolate chips miniature, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate
3 bars (1.55 oz each) Hershey's Milk Chocolate chopped

Additional Toppings (optional)

2 bars (1.55 oz each) Hershey's Milk Chocolate each square halved
Marshmallow Bits you will have leftover from the jar

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°. Prepare 2 cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper, silpat liner, or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl with a handheld blender, or use the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until fluffy looking and combined.
*At first it will look crumbly and not come together, but after you beat it for 1-2 minutes it will get fluffy and wetter looking.
Add the eggs one at a a time beating after each egg. Add the vanilla extract and beat together until combined.
Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Beat on low speed just until combined, You may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl and/or increase speed slightly to get everything combined.
*At this point the dough will look crumbly and almost dry but if you pinch it together with your fingers it should stick and form together.
Add in the marshmallow bits, chocolate chips, and chopped Hershey milk chocolate bars. Beat on low speed just until combined.
Take about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball between the palms of your hand. Place 12 cookies per cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.
*Cookie dough balls should look like the size of a golf ball.
Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then press additional marshmallow bits and halved squares of Hershey milk chocolate onto the tops of each cookie. Let cool completely on the cookie sheet and then move to a cooling rack.

Notes

I would highly encourage you to use the Jet Puffed marshmallow bits. I have good luck finding them on Amazon (not affiliate). Baking mini marshmallows in the oven is a gooey mess and they melt all over. The marshmallow bits are hard little marshmallows that keep their shape while baking.

My cookie are perfect at about 9 minutes 30 seconds.

To chop the Hershey chocolate bars place the unwrapped bars into a Ziploc bag and use a meat pounder or a rolling pin to break up the chocolate into smaller pieces.
