Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup (135g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 1/2 cups (90g) mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Brown the butter: Melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix sugars and butter: In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and stir until smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy and homogeneous.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients, mixing just until no flour streaks remain.
- Fold in graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips: Gently stir in 1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs and 3/4 cup (135g) chocolate chips.
- Transfer to skillet: Spoon dough into a greased 10-inch oven-safe skillet and spread evenly.
- Bake: Place skillet in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 20-22 minutes until edges are golden and center is soft and slightly jiggly.
- Add marshmallows: Remove skillet from oven and scatter 1 1/2 cups (90g) mini marshmallows evenly on top.
- Toast marshmallows: Switch oven to broil and place skillet under broiler for 1-3 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown and puffed. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch.
- Cool slightly and serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burns. Scoop out warm, gooey bites.
Notes
Keep heat medium and stir constantly when browning butter to avoid burning. Use graham cracker crumbs for authentic s’mores crunch. Watch marshmallows closely when broiling to prevent burning. Cast iron skillet is ideal for even heat and rustic presentation. For cakier texture, add 1 tbsp more flour or bake longer; for chewier, stick to original bake time.
