Tips for making Mini Brown Butter S’mores Cookie Skillets:
Brown the Butter: Start by browning the butter for a rich, nutty flavor. Melt butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly before using in the dough.
Chill the Dough: After mixing the cookie dough, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and enhances the flavor.
Use Quality Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate chips or chunks for the cookie base and the topping. This makes a significant difference in taste and texture.
Fill Evenly: Divide the cookie dough evenly among the mini skillets. Press the dough gently into the skillets, ensuring an even layer.
Add Chocolate Squares and Mini Marshmallows Late: Top with chocolate squares and mini marshmallows in the last few minutes of baking. This ensures they get perfectly toasted without burning. You can also use a kitchen torch for extra toasting.
Watch Closely: Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking, especially after adding the marshmallows. They can go from perfectly toasted to burnt quickly.
Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the skillets warm. The gooey chocolate and toasted marshmallows are at their best when enjoyed fresh from the oven.
Garnish: For extra flavor and presentation, drizzle with additional melted chocolate or sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs before serving.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Skillet Care: If using cast iron skillets, make sure they are well-seasoned to prevent sticking. Non-stick skillets work well too.
How to store Mini Brown Butter S’mores Cookie Skillets:
Room Temperature: Store the cookie skillets at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Ensure the container is sealed well to maintain the cookies' freshness and prevent them from drying out.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, place the skillets in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 5 days. The cookies may become firmer in the refrigerator, so reheat them slightly before serving.
Freezing: To store the cookies for an extended period, wrap each skillet tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped skillets in a freezer-safe bag or container. The cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Individual Portions: If the skillets are too large for single servings, cut the cookies into individual portions before storing. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. This makes it easy to grab a single serving when desired.
Reheating: To enjoy the cookies warm, reheat individual skillets or portions in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This helps restore the gooey texture of the melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows. Avoid using the microwave, which can make the marshmallows rubbery.
Avoid Stacking: When storing multiple skillets or portions, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other to preserve the marshmallow topping. Use parchment paper or wax paper between layers if necessary.
Cover Skillets Properly: If you plan to leave the cookies in their skillets, cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out.
