Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins & Toppings
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (divided)
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently and continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to prevent cooking the eggs in the next steps.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and warm brown butter. Stir until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Fold in the chocolate chips and about half of the mini marshmallows into the cookie dough, reserving the rest for topping. This distribution creates gooey pockets throughout the cookie.
- Bake in the Skillet: Transfer the cookie dough into a greased oven-safe skillet, smoothing the surface evenly. Sprinkle the remaining marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Serve Warm: Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly so the marshmallows and melted chocolate set enough for easy scooping. Serve directly from the skillet or plated as desired.
Notes
- Watch the butter carefully to avoid burning; remove it once it smells nutty and has an amber color.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to keep the cookie tender and soft.
- Use an oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, for even heat distribution and rustic presentation.
- For a thicker cookie, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
- Monitor the marshmallows as they bake to ensure they toast to a light golden brown without burning.
