🍫 Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s get cozy in the kitchen! Here’s everything you’ll need for these magical Brown Butter S’mores Cookies:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, browned
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 8 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional—but yes, please)
• Graham crackers, broken into squares
• Marshmallows, halved or whole, depending on size

🧁 How to Make These Campfire-Inspired Cookies

These Brown Butter S’mores Cookies take a few extra steps, but every one is so worth it. Let’s go:

1. Brown the Butter 🔥

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter until it foams and turns a deep golden brown. Pour into a bowl and chill in the freezer until cool, but not solid.

Tip: Brown butter gives the cookies a caramel-toffee flavor that’s just unreal.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars, salt, and cooled brown butter. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is light and ribbony.

3. Fold in the Dry

Sift in your flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently fold the dough—don’t overmix! This keeps your cookies soft and chewy.

4. Add the Chocolate 🍫

Fold in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate (and chocolate chips if you’re going all in). Yes, it smells amazing already.

5. Assemble the S’mores Cookies

On a lined baking sheet, lay down a graham cracker square and top it with a marshmallow half. Place a cookie dough ball right on top. Chill the whole tray in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

This step is key for thick, flavorful cookies with golden edges and gooey centers!

6. Bake the Magic

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 12–15 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through for even baking.

7. Shape Like a Pro (Optional—but do it)

Use a round cookie cutter to swirl and nudge your cookies into that perfect bakery-style shape while they’re still hot. Press extra chocolate on top for that wow factor. ✨

8. Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies rest on the tray for 10–12 minutes. Serve them warm for gooey marshmallow heaven—or save them for later (if you can resist 😉).

💡 Pro Tips

• Want extra toasted marshmallow flavor? Use a kitchen torch to gently toast the tops.
• These cookies freeze beautifully—both the dough and the baked version!
• Swap chocolate types if you like: dark, milk, or even white for a twist.
