Brown Butter S’mores Cookie

Brown Butter S’mores Cookies Recipe
Today’s recipe uses my viral chocolate chip cookie dough base that took over 3 months to perfect.
It is a decadent chocolate chip cookie perfect for gourmet bakers who aren’t afraid to spend a few extra minute in the kitchen, perfecting their technique to result in decadent results.
Brown butter is simply “browned butter.” Melt your butter in a saucepan until the milk solids start to darken and turn a caramel brown, and take it off of the heat. I like to cool mine before incorporating it into this chocolate chip cookie recipe, so brown the butter first!
Mix that brown butter into your cookie dough, along with some ooey, gooey marshmallows and plenty of chocolate chips and you have the ultimate s’mores-inspired dessert that tastes just like it came out of a gourmet kitchen.

How to Make S’mores Cookies
Melt the butter in a pan, but take it just past “melted” so that some of the milk solids start to turn brown. Take off the heat and cool as you prepare your other ingredients.
I use an even blend of white and brown sugar to increase the caramel taste, without having the cookie become too crispy. Cream the sugars with the slightly cooled butter, and then whip in shortening before adding the molasses, vanilla, and eggs.
In a separate bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients together, and then add half to the wet ingredients. Incorporate fully before adding the second half of dry ingredients.
Add the chocolate chips — feel free to add more than one cup if you want LOTS of chocolate.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure out your cookies onto a lined baking tray.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until just slightly golden and remove to a cooling rack.
