Equipment
- dry measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- paring knife
- small or medium skillet
- large bowl
- medium bowl
- hand mixer
- cookie scoops
- rimmed baking sheets
Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter (1½ sticks)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅔ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup coarsely crushed mini salted pretzel twists
- 12 large marshmallows, cut in half crosswise
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Continue to cook until the mixture bubbles and the milk solids brown. Transfer the browned butter to a large bowl and let cool completely until solid but still soft. (You're aiming for softened butter texture.)
- Mix together the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside. Beat the cooled browned butter and sugars with a hand mixer until creamy.
- Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and pretzels. Scoop the dough into 48 equal balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Press the dough into discs.
- Top 24 of the discs with a marshmallow half. Place the remaining dough discs on top of the marshmallows.
- Roll the dough into balls completely covering the marshmallow inside. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. (Optional: Press a few extra chocolate chips and pretzel pieces into each dough ball.) Bake the cookies, in batches, 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. (Optional: During the last 2 minutes of baking, add a marshmallow piece to the top of the cookies.) Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking pans.
