The nutty, caramelized flavor of the browned butter in the dough adds a depth of flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the marshmallows and chocolate.

Decoration Tips: For an extra decorative touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the baked cookies and sprinkle a few crushed graham cracker crumbs on top. This not only enhances their appearance but also boosts the s'mores flavor profile. Presenting them on a rustic wooden platter can evoke the outdoor essence of traditional s'mores, making the serving experience even more thematic.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (226g), browned and cooled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (99g)
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar (160g)
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (170g)
- About 5 sheets of Graham Crackers, broken into squares
- About 3 Hershey’s milk chocolate bars, broken into pieces
- About 10 regular-sized marshmallows
- Begin by melting the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it foams and turns golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma. Once brown bits form, remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter with granulated and brown sugars. Mix until well blended.
- Incorporate the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture until smoothly combined.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place graham cracker squares on the lined sheet. Top each with pieces of Hershey’s chocolate and a marshmallow. Encase each setup with about 3 tablespoons of the chilled cookie dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely browned and set.
Enjoy these heavenly S'mores Cookies, a treat that brings the classic campfire experience to your home, delighting everyone with its charming blend of flavors and textures!
