So it's officially summer now although it's felt that way to me for several weeks now. The kids have been home from school, the temps have been climbing and we've been spending more than our fair share of time at the pool. Aside from the fact that I need to be up no later than 5am to be able to get a run in the morning, I love everything about summer! Well, the early wake up time and the climbing electric bill. Since I'm not likely to skimp on the a/c then I have to do my best to compensate including not using my oven on hot days. But what do you do when your kids are bored and asking to do some baking with mom? Turn them down? No way! Just fire up the crock!!
My sweet girl really wanted to make some cookies this week and I got to thinking about the fact that I've not made any chocolate chip cookies in the crockpot yet. We could have stuck with a basic recipe but since we had also picked up some marshmallows at the store it seemed only appropriate to go with a S'mores cookie to stick with the summer theme.
A basic chocolate chip cookie recipe right off the package and then add a topping of chocolate chips, marshmallows and Teddy Grahams. You can picture yourself sitting by the campfire while you are eating these minus the fear of singeing your eyebrows or burning your fingers.
Use a good quality chocolate here... whatever brand makes your favorite chips. The chocolate will melt all down into the cookies and so you want to make sure it's something you love.
Go ahead and bake this summer with no worries of cranking up that electric bill!! Baking in the slow cooker is so much easier anyway!

Base cookie dough recipe from Ghiradelli.
Do I use a pkg of chocolate chip cookie mix, as in ‘Cookie base’????
Nope, just follow the recipe as written, it's just broken into parts including the cookie base.
I’m confused, do you use a chocolate chip cookie base in this recipe? Or do you make it with the listed ingredients?
Sorry, that is confusing! Make it as instructed in the recipe, the other is just a note. I'll work on that to make it more clear.
This recipe looks great! I wanna try it soon! Question: Do you use paper towels under the lid to catch the condensation from the lid?
I know people do that sometimes but I've never actually tried it!
these look so fun!
they look yummy!
Thanks!!
Whaaaaaa? Yumm-o!!! S'more is my favourite food group 😉
I'm excited to try this as I've never done much in my crock pot except for roasts and stews.
It's amazing all the things you can make in a crockpot! 😉
