½teaspoon(0.5teaspoon)peppermint extractcan sub with vanilla extract
½teaspoon(0.5teaspoon)baking soda
½tsp (0.5teaspoon)salt
1⅓cups(186g)all-purpose flour
1cup(180g)semi sweet chocolate chips
¼cup(56.5g)crushed candy cane pieces
9graham cracker squares
9large marshmallows
18hershey bar squares
flaked sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk or mix together melted butter and both sugars until combined. Add in the egg, vanilla and peppermint extract and whisk.
Slowly mix in baking soda, salt and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
Fold in chocolate chips and crushed candy cane pieces.
Place 4-5 graham crackers on each cookie sheet and top each one with a chocolate square and then a marhsmallow.
Scoop ¼ cup of cookie dough and shape the dough around the marshmallow and onto the graham cracker.
Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. You're looking for a nice golden brown outside. The cookies will look a little puffed in the middle from the marshmallow, but once they cool they will collapse a bit. As soon as they come out of the oven stick a single hershey square on top and sprinkle with flaked salt. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling.

Notes
I tried these cookies with and without the hershey bars We loved them both ways.These are also great using chocolate graham crackers.I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
