Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

This is a Pioneer Woman recipe.   Her recopies never disappoint and this one certainly does not. 
  • 1 cup (2 Sticks) Salted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons (additional) All-purpose Flour (rounded Tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons (heaping) Instant Coffee Granules (can omit and they will still be wonderful but this just makes them even better)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 ounces, weight Good Semi-sweet Chocolate, Chopped Into Chunks (can also use a 12oz bag of chocolate chips) 
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Pecans (optional)

    Add one stick of butter to a medium skillet over medium heat. Allow it to melt and bubble up for 3 to 4 minutes, swirling the pan to keep the butter moving around. When the butter is a medium golden brown, remove the pan from the heat (it will continue browning in the pan over the next 30 seconds or so!) Pour butter (and any solids in the bottom of the pan) into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, allow the other stick of butter to soften.

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees*.

    Cream the softened butter together with the brown sugar and regular sugar until it’s nice and combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary to make sure everything is incorporated.

    With the mixer on medium-low, very slowly drizzle in the cooled melted butter, making sure to add all the darker brown solids. Scrape the bowl the mix again for 20-30 seconds, until everything is combined.

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Stir together, then add it in 1/3 increments, mixing on low, until it’s totally incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beat for a few more seconds. Stir in the chocolate chunks and nuts, if using.

    In batches, scoop by heaping teaspoon onto a baking sheet lined with a baking mat, Press extra chocolate chunks into the tops of each cookie, if desired. Refrigerate scoped cookies for 15 minutes, then bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Grandma Fern's Sweet Pickles

I love these pickles.  Even now every time I eat one it takes  me back to my childhood and watching my grandma make these ... and of course eating them.  Everything is better with these pickles.    I've made them before and although time-consuming, they are amazing!  You will need an old pickling crock to make these.  One like this.  Usually they can be found at ACE Hardware stores.  This one is an old one that was given to me by my aunt. 2 gallons cucumbers (small ones are best) Mix one pint of canning salt with a gallon of water and bring to a boil.
