Ingredients

• 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (about 4 sheets)
• 18 large marshmallows (one per cookie)
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
• 1/4 cup additional crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until just combined and no dry streaks remain.

3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers.

4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (about 18 cookies).

5. Bake for 8–9 minutes, until cookies are just set but still soft in the center.

6. Remove from oven and immediately press one large marshmallow onto the center of each cookie.

7. Return cookies to the oven for 1–2 minutes, until marshmallows are puffed and just starting to melt.

8. For a toasted top, broil for 30 seconds, watching closely, until marshmallows turn golden brown.

9. Remove cookies from oven. Immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and extra graham cracker crumbs, if using.

10. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra boost of flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips or adding a pinch of cinnamon to the brownie dough before baking. If a broiler is not preferred, a kitchen torch can be used to toast the marshmallow tops evenly and to your liking.
