Ingredients

  • *for the cookies*
  • ½ cup {1 stick} unsalted butter softened
  • cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • ¾ cup white all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • *for the frosting*
  • 1 jar {7oz} marshmallow creme
  • ¾ cup {1 ½ sticks} unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • dark chocolate chips for dipping

Instructions

  • First, make the graham cracker cookies. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and honey. Beat until fluffy and creamy.
  • Add in the white and wheat flours and mix until a dough forms. If it's too crumbly, add in some heavy cream. It should be a bit crumbly but hold together if you press it between your fingertips.
  • Lay out a piece of wax paper on a clean surface, and dump the cookie dough on top. Top with another piece of wax paper, and then using a rolling pin, create a large rectangle about ¼" thick.
  • Remove the top piece of wax paper, and using a 2.5 inch cookie cutter, cut out as many as you can.
  • Using a 1.25 inch cookie cutter, cut out the center of half of the cookies. Using a spatula, carefully transfer your cookies to a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment.
  • Repeat the process until you've used all the dough and you have an equal number of top and bottom cookies.
  • Place pans in the freezer for 30 minutes so cookies can set.
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Let cool completely before frosting.
  • When ready to assemble, make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat together the butter and marshmallow creme until smooth and combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla and salt, then add in the powdered sugar until a thick but soft frosting forms. Add a little more powdered sugar if it's too runny.
  • To assemble, use a spoon or piping bag and spread the marshmallow frosting on the round base cookies.
  • If you need to toast the marshmallow in the oven, do it now. Turn on the broiler, and place the cookies in the oven for 1-2 minutes. Watch VERY closely as they can burn very fast! Once marshmallow is toasted, immediately remove from oven and top with the cookie that has the hole cut out.
  • If you have a torch, you can first place the cut out cookies on top, and then toast just the center.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 15 second intervals until smooth and melted. You can add a tiny bit of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to make the chocolate smoother.
  • Dip each cookie in the chocolate, and place back on cookie sheet to set.
  • Once chocolate has solidified, enjoy!
