Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 1 stick softened (not melted) butter and 2/3 cup sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Add 1 large egg and blend, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix in 1/4 cup cocoa powder until well combined.
  • Add 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Mallow Bits (mini marshmallows) with a spatula. The dough will be thick and dense.
  • Arrange the 28 graham cracker squares in a single layer on one or more baking sheets (do not overlap).
  • Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, place a spoonful of dough on the center of each graham cracker square. Slightly shape the dough to fit but do not completely cover the graham cracker — the cookies will spread a little while baking.
  • Bake at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately place one marshmallow half (from the 14 standard marshmallows cut in half, for a total of 28 halves) sticky side down onto the top of each warm cookie and press gently so it adheres.
  • Switch the oven setting to broil (low). Return the cookies to the oven and watch closely — broil only until the marshmallows reach your preferred level of browning (this can be under 90 seconds). Do not leave the oven unattended while broiling.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place one unwrapped DOVE Chocolate Promise on top of each browned marshmallow so the chocolate starts to soften.
  • If you have more cookies to bake, set the oven back to 350°F and allow it a few minutes to return to temperature before baking the next sheet; repeat steps 7–11.
  • Store cookies loosely covered with a lid or covering that does not touch the tops of the cookies (the chocolate will remain soft and melty). Enjoy.
