Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Brownie Batter
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar, and mix until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Incorporate cocoa powder, flour, and salt, stirring until the batter is fully combined.
Prepare the Cookie Dough
In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla. Gradually add in the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until the dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Combine Brownie and Cookie Dough
Scoop some brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then take a scoop of cookie dough and press it gently on top of the brownie layer. Repeat until all dough is used.
Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft. Remove from the oven and allow cooling.
Prepare S’mores Topping
While the cookies cool, toast some marshmallows until golden brown.
Add Toppings
Once the cookies are cooled, top each with a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate or graham cracker as desired.
Notes
Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for a week.
Customization
Feel free to add nuts or different types of chocolate to the brownie and cookie dough for added flavor and texture.
Serving
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.
Cook techniques
Achieving the Perfect Brownie Texture
To get that fudgy brownie texture, ensure that you don’t overmix the batter and check for doneness using the toothpick method. It’s okay if a few moist crumbs stick to the toothpick.
Layering Flavors with S’mores Ingredients
Incorporate layers of chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs within the cookie dough. This will create a delightful flavor explosion in every bite.
Chilling the Dough
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies.
Using High-Quality Chocolate
For the best flavor, opt for high-quality chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips. This will enhance the overall taste and richness of your cookies.
Making Homemade Marshmallow Fluff
If you want to elevate your cookies, consider making your own marshmallow fluff. It adds a fresh taste and can be customized to your preference.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate depending on your preference, but it may alter the overall flavor.
What if I don’t have graham cracker crumbs?
You can crush any type of crunchy cookie as a substitute for graham cracker crumbs, like Digestive biscuits or even vanilla wafers.
How do I store the cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or you can freeze them for longer storage.
Can I add nuts to the batter?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can be added for added texture and flavor.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
To make the recipe gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure all other ingredients are also gluten-free.
