Steps:

• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down sides as needed. Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, scraping down sides as needed, until just blended, then stir in half of the chocolate. Cover dough and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment or wax paper. Scoop out dough by the heaping tablespoonful, roll into a balls, and arrange 3 inches apart, 6 on each sheet.
• Bake cookies, swapping the trays and rotating them once halfway through, until golden, 10-11 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with second batch. Let cookies cool.
• Place remaining 8 ounces chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat 30 seconds. Stir, then heat 30 seconds more. Repeat until chocolate is melted through. Turn cookies over and, using a small spatula, spread a thin layer of chocolate on flat sides of cookies. Chill cookies to let chocolate set, at least 15 minutes.
• Place marshmallows onto skewers and toast over a flame. Place 2 toasted marshmallows on chocolate side of 1 cookie and top with chocolate side of another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining marshmallows and cookies.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. In a stand mixer bowl fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter with sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Tint dough with food coloring until deep green. Divide dough in half; shape each piece into a disk. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Working with one disk at a time, scoop teaspoons of dough, roll into balls, and place on baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula.
• Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. (Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.)
