Recipe:
Ingredients (Makes 7 cookies):
- 95g milk chocolate, chopped
- 113g unsalted butter
- 120g brown sugar
- 30g caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 125g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 7 digestive biscuits
- 7 squares of Lindt chocolate (or any high-quality chocolate)
- 7 marshmallows
Method:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Brown the Butter:
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook until the butter turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. - Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the cooled browned butter with the brown sugar and caster sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Gradually mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda. Finally, fold in the chopped milk chocolate pieces. - Assemble the Cookies:
Place a digestive biscuit on the prepared baking tray. On top of each biscuit, place a square of chocolate and a marshmallow. Take a portion of the cookie dough and cover the biscuit, chocolate, and marshmallow completely, forming a thick cookie layer over the top. - Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. - Cool Slightly and Serve:
Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey, melty experience.
Enjoy these crispy, gooey, chocolate-filled cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!
