Ingredients
  

Cookies:

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup chunky natural peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cup organic brown sugar
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cup all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 9 large marshmallows cut in half
  • 9 graham cracker sheets split in half

Fudge Frosting:

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup organic cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 3 standard baking trays with parchment paper for later.
  • Then in a large mixing bowl combine softened butter and peanut butter using a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Now throw in the brown sugar and cane sugar and beat until fluffy about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • In a smaller mixing bowl mix all dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt) together with a fork.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold the two into each other using a rubber spatula; stop mixing the moment the last bit of flour disappears.
  • Set the dough aside.
  • Place 5 half graham cracker sheets onto one of the baking trays lined with parchment paper.
  • With a large cookie scoop (about 3 oz) scoop the dough onto the top of each cracker.
  • Using a fork cross smash the cookie dough down in each direction.
  • Bake the cookies for 8 minutes in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • After 8 minutes of baking, press the centers of each cookie with half of a large marshmallow.
  • Bake the cookies for 4 more minutes before removing them from the oven to cool.
  • Continue baking the cookie dough until all the cookies are baked.
  • Now prepare the frosting.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and then stir in the cocoa powder with a whisk until combined.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
  • Repeat and add another cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk.
  • Once the frosting is silky and fudgy drizzle the tops of the cookies, making sure to cover the marshmallow.
  • Serve and enjoy.
  • Store leftover in an airtight container at room temperature out of the sun for up to 3-5 days.
