Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (ensure fresh)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup Marshmallow Creme (Fluff) (spreads easily)
- 1/2 cup Extra Chocolate Chips (to taste)
- 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Crushed Graham Cracker Crumbs
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a medium skillet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Create the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and pure vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, crushed graham crackers, fresh baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine Dough Components: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Then fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for rich chocolate flavor.
- Layer the Skillet: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared skillet to form a base layer.
- Add the Marshmallow Layer: Spread marshmallow crème (Fluff) evenly over the cookie dough base, making sure to cover all areas for even gooeyness.
- Top Layer: Flatten the remaining cookie dough and carefully spread it over the marshmallow crème to encase the filling.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is just set, avoiding overbaking to maintain gooey texture.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove from oven and let the skillet cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with mini marshmallows, extra chocolate chips, and crushed graham cracker crumbs while still warm for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use a medium oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches) for best results.
- You can substitute marshmallow crème with mini marshmallows melted on top as an alternative approach.
- For a crunchier texture, add the extra chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs after baking instead of before.
- Allow the skillet to cool slightly to avoid burning when serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
