Smores Brownie Mix Cookies (Print Version)

Chewy brownie cookies with chocolate, graham crackers, and toasted marshmallow topping.

# Ingredient List:

→ For the Cookies

01 - 1 box (18-20 oz) brownie mix
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil
04 - 1 tablespoon water
05 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
06 - 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (approximately 4 sheets)

→ For the Marshmallow Top

07 - 18 large marshmallows
08 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
09 - 1/4 cup additional crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until just combined with no dry streaks remaining.
03 - Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers until evenly distributed.
04 - Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing approximately 2 inches apart to yield about 18 cookies.
05 - Bake for 8-9 minutes, until cookies are set on the edges but retain softness in the center.
06 - Remove from oven and immediately press one large marshmallow onto the center of each cookie.
07 - Return cookies to the oven for 1-2 minutes, until marshmallows are puffed and beginning to melt.
08 - Switch to broil setting and broil for 30 seconds while monitoring closely, until marshmallows achieve light golden-brown color.
09 - Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and extra graham cracker crumbs if desired.
10 - Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like s'mores but without the campfire mess or burnt fingers.
  • A box of brownie mix means no fancy techniques needed, just assembly and baking magic.
  • The marshmallow topping gets gooey and slightly caramelized, giving you that campfire nostalgia in every bite.
02 -
  • Press the marshmallow on immediately after the first bake while the cookies are hot, otherwise they'll bounce off and slide around like they're skating.
  • The broiling step is optional but transforms pale marshmallows into bronzed perfection that actually looks like you toasted them over a real flame.
03 -
  • Use a kitchen torch instead of the broiler if you want Instagram-worthy golden marshmallows without the risk of burning.
  • Slightly underbake the initial cookies because they continue cooking when the marshmallows go back in, and that's where the magic happens.
