Ingredients:

½ cup softened butter

½ cup shortening
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar

1 room temperature egg
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1.5 cups marshmallow creme
3 tablespoons Graham cracker crumbs (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare oversized ramekins or small baking pans by greasing them lightly.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing after each addition until a cohesive dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide the dough into three equal parts. For each pie, press half of one part of the dough into the bottom of a prepared pan. Spread 1/2 cup of marshmallow creme over it, and sprinkle a tablespoon of Graham cracker crumbs if using.
