Equipment

  • 1 saucepan for browning butter
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter browned
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring frequently until it turns a light brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until creamy, then add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and to firm up the dough for easier handling.
  • Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve warm for a gooey, delicious experience, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
