Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create the ultimate gooey chocolate s’mores brownie cookies:

For the Brownie Cookie Dough

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the S’mores Topping

• 10 graham crackers, crushed into small chunks
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or mini marshmallows)
• 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Cookie Dough

1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
2️⃣ Add eggs and vanilla extract and whisk again until fully incorporated.
3️⃣ In a separate medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4️⃣ Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
5️⃣ Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 2: Chill the Dough

For extra chewy cookies, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps intensify the flavors and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.

Step 3: Bake the Cookies

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

3️⃣ Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

Tip: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake them! You want that chewy, fudgy center.

Step 4: Add the S’mores Topping

Now it’s time to transform these brownie cookies into s’mores heaven!

1️⃣ Remove the cookies from the oven after 8-10 minutes, but don’t turn off the heat.

2️⃣ Gently press a few chunks of crushed graham crackers into each cookie while they’re still warm.

3️⃣ Spoon a dollop of marshmallow fluff (or place 3-4 mini marshmallows) on top of each cookie.

4️⃣ Sprinkle chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips over the marshmallow topping for extra gooeyness.

5️⃣ Return the cookies to the oven for 2-3 more minutes, just until the marshmallows start to melt and become golden.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

1️⃣ Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

2️⃣ Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool slightly before serving. The gooey marshmallow topping will set just enough to be soft but not messy.

How to Serve S’mores Brownie Cookies

Warm and Fresh – These cookies are best enjoyed right out of the oven when the marshmallow is melty and the chocolate is gooey.

With Ice Cream – Sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies for the ultimate s’mores ice cream sandwich.

With Coffee or Hot Chocolate – Dunk them in a cup of hot cocoa for extra chocolatey goodness.
