S'mores Chocolate Chip Cookies

makes at least two dozen cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/4 cups unsifted unbleached all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup roughly-chopped graham crackers (2 sheets)

1/2 cup chopped (pea-sized) marshmallows (chop on a floured surface to prevent sticking)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

3. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.

4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

6. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the chocolate chips, chopped graham crackers, and chopped marshmallows. Do not overmix.

7. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are light brown.

9. Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool.

10. Set the oven to broil.

11. Slice a large marshmallow in half, vertically.

12. Place one slice of marshmallow in the center of each cookie. Place the cookies back on the baking sheet and broil until the marshmallows are golden brown. (Keep your eye on them -- the marshmallows will go from brown to burned in an instant!) Remove from the oven and place a piece of Hershey's chocolate onto each marshmallow, lightly pushing down to flatten the marshmallow. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.
