Anastasia’s S’mores Cookies

by Mary Neumann · Leave a Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

My sister is in town visiting from Alaska and wanted to make some fun cookies for the family, so she made one of her new favorites – S’mores Cookies!

S’mores Cookies

These irresistible cookies are made with brown butter, toasted graham crackers, semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips, along with marshmallows. They are crispy, chewy, ooey and gooey, everything you crave in one fantastic cookie.

What takes these cookies to the next level is browning the butter – it’s worth the few extra minutes. Brown butter is optional but highly recommended.

HOW TO BROWN BUTTER (VIDEO TUTORIAL)

S'mores cookies plated and baked on cookie sheet.

If you’re a fan of s’mores you’ll love these cookies! They are the perfect treat to re-create in the kitchen when you can’t do it by the campfire.

Ingredients

For the cookie dough base:

3/4 cup butter, browned or softened (you should take the few extra minutes and brown it – trust me)
3/4 cup dark brown sugar (light brown sugar works too)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

For the toasted graham crackers:

2 Tablespoons butter

4-5 sheets graham crackers, crushed into small pieces (like the size of peas or smaller)

10 regular size marshmallows cut into halves

flaky sea salt to finish (optional but highly recommended)

Directions:

Brown the butter. Let it cool.

In the meantime, crush the graham crackers into very small pieces (about the size of peas or smaller – see photo above), toss with 2 Tablespoons of melted butter until coated well. Bake at 350 on a cookie sheet until golden – about *8 minutes, watch carefully so they don’t burn. Let cool completely. *Side Note – please watch the graham crackers VERY carefully. My sister burned the first batch and tried to blame my “hot oven.” We all know that’s not true. 🙂

Mix the cooled butter with the sugars until combined thoroughly. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until combined.

Add the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and soda to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix together until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces.

Make approx 1 ounce balls (approximately 2 tablespoons) with the dough while stuffing the center of each with one marshmallow piece. This part won’t be perfect. Just do your best to stuff the marshmallow halves into the center of each dough round. You will have exposed marshmallow and that’s okay. When you place them on the cookie sheet to bake, arrange them so that those with exposed marshmallow parts are on top.

Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for at least one hour.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350. Remove from the refrigerator and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment at least 2-inches apart. Sprinkle with a smidgen of flaky sea salt (optional). Bake for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be golden, but the centers soft and gooey. When ready, remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes then transfer to cooling rack.

Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies depending on size. Store in airtight container.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!

Easy Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken (Best Sauce)

by Mary Neumann · 4 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

The summer heat has arrived in Georgia, this time of year my slow cooker works overtime, trying to avoid heating up the kitchen with the oven. Over the weekend I made one of our family favorites again, Teriyaki Chicken, this time in the slow cooker and it turned out wonderful!

EASY SLOW COOKER TERIYAKI CHICKEN (Best Sauce)

Our family favorite Teriyaki Chicken recipe can be made in the slow cooker! The awesome sauce comes together quickly on the stove made with soy sauce, sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, black pepper and cornstarch. Simply pour the sauce over the chicken and allow the cooker to do the rest. No need to heat up the kitchen this summer, give your oven the day off. Serve this tasty chicken and sauce over rice for a fantastic meal!

What You Need To Make Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

Boneless skinless chicken thighs, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, ground ginger, garlic, black pepper and cornstarch.

How To Make Easy Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, place chicken thighs in a single layer in cooker, season with pepper. In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add all of the sauce ingredients and whisk together. Allow to come to a simmer/bubbling, whisking often until sauce thickens. When sauce is ready, pour evenly over chicken coating well (lift chicken so sauce gets underneath).

Cook on high 2 1/2 to 3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. *Cooking times will vary depending on your slow cooker/crock pot. Adjust cooking times accordingly. Some slow cookers may take 3-4 hours on HIGH and 4-6 hours on LOW. Chicken should reach a safe 165°F before serving. When ready, shred chicken with two forks. Add cooked broccoli (optional) stir, serve chicken and sauce over rice.

You can serve the chicken alone over rice or with vegetables added to the chicken. My favorite vegetable with Teriyaki Chicken is broccoli.

Veggies can be added AFTER the chicken is fully cooked and shredded. I am not a fan of overcooked vegetables so this is the best way to make sure they are perfectly cooked.

Teriyaki chicken is also terrific with sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (approximately 6 thighs)
ground pepper to taste

Teriyaki Sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce (regular or reduced sodium)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar (white/regular)
1 clove garlic minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Optional

10-12 ounces steamed broccoli – cooked to your preference, added AFTER chicken is cooked and shredded. I use a frozen steamer bag of broccoli florets
sesame seeds for sprinkling on top

Directions

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, place chicken thighs in a single layer in cooker, season with pepper.

In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add all of the sauce ingredients and whisk together. Allow to come to a simmer/bubbling, whisking often until sauce thickens.

When sauce is ready, pour evenly over chicken coating well (lift chicken so sauce gets underneath).

When ready, shred chicken with two forks. Add cooked broccoli (optional) stir, serve chicken and sauce over rice. Enjoy!

Chicken is also great with green beans, carrots, sugar snap peas and more.

Tips

Chicken breasts can be subbed for thighs. Be sure to use fresh chicken, not frozen – frozen chicken in bags tend to have a lot of extra juice/liquid/broth added.
The next time you grill chicken, give this teriyaki sauce a try – it makes awesome barbecue chicken!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!
