Description

Indulge in the decadent delight of these Ooey Gooey Browned Butter Cookies. These soft-baked treats are loaded with rich flavors of browned butter, chocolate chips, and gooey marshmallows, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory in every bite.


Ingredients

For the Browned Butter:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned and cooled

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5–7 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, and marshmallows.
  3. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill it for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, sprinkle with sea salt if desired, and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let the cookies cool before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough enhances flavor and prevents spreading.
  • For a variation, try using caramel bits instead of marshmallows.
  • Using a mix of chocolates adds depth to the cookies.
