What the Beck???

Recipe Review

Today’s Recipe and Location: Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Found in: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Dinnertime

I figured out that there are 160 calories, if 34 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

    This recipe was in her section called Slice and Bake cookies. I loved these cookies. I did substitute good quality chocolate chips for the block of semisweet chocolate thus making chocolate chip cookies and not chocolate chunk cookies.

Here are the ingredients I used in the recipe

I began with the wet ingredients.
The secret to this recipe is the browned butter!!

I then mixed the dry ingredients

Slowly, mix the dry into the wet

I added in the chocolate chips

Lastly, I added the pecans

Now, they are ready to roll into a log
I just used a small scoop to make them now

They were great!

    I took these cookies to my sister, Susan’s house and they were gone quickly. I love the idea of making rolls and cookies and freezing them until they are needed. This is another one of Ree’s recipes where she is thinking for the working women. Take advantage of this idea!

The Eagles are still at Mooseheart

 I first saw the male out on a branch

 Then, I looked closer and noticed the female sitting in the nest

In case you have not seen them in person,

the nest is in the field house parking lot at

Mooseheart. The road is on the left of the lot.

Stop and see them, and they will take your breath.
