How to Make S’mores Brownie Cookies
These cookies come together quickly—perfect for those last-minute dessert cravings! Follow these simple steps, and get ready for cookie magic.
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 📜
Step 2: Melt Chocolate & Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 20-30 second intervals. Stir after each interval until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly. 🍫🧈
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy. This gives the cookies that deliciously soft texture. 🥄🍦
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is fully combined.
Step 5: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the cookies tough. 🌾🍫📏🧂
Step 6: Add the S’mores Toppings
Fold in the mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of each cookie. 🍡🍪
Step 7: Scoop & Bake
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each cookie with a few extra marshmallows and graham cracker pieces for that classic s’mores look! 🍪
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They’ll firm up as they cool, so resist the temptation to bake them longer! ⏲️
Step 9: Cool & Serve
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now’s the time to admire those gooey marshmallow tops and chocolatey swirls! 😋
Tip: For an extra marshmallowy touch, try using a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows on top. It adds a lovely campfire effect and a bit of smokiness to each bite!
What to Serve with S’mores Brownie Cookies
Serve these cookies with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa for the ultimate treat. They’re also perfect alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even some fresh berries to balance the richness.
Storage Tips
If you somehow manage not to eat them all at once, store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
FAQ: Your S’mores Brownie Cookies Questions, Answered!
Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate will add a slightly richer, less sweet flavor that pairs wonderfully with the marshmallows and graham crackers.
What if I don’t have a kitchen torch?
No worries! You can skip the toasting step, and the cookies will still be delicious. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, place them under the broiler for just a few seconds—but watch carefully to avoid burning.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes! Simply swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, and your cookies should turn out just as gooey and delightful.
How do I keep my cookies from spreading too much?
If you notice they’re spreading too much, try chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. This step can help the cookies keep their shape a bit better.
