Chewy Brownie Cookies

I'm not much of a cookie baker, but I decided to try a new recipe over the weekend. They turned out great!

They are super fudgy and nice, fat little cookies. They will be perfect for a valentine treat so I will definitely want to remember this recipe! They would also be great to pack for lunch treats, for potlucks, and for sharing with a friend.

Here's how I made Chewy Brownie Cookies AT HOME MY WAY:

Chewy Brownie Cookies

1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup all-vegetable shortening (Crisco or generic)
1 Tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 to 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I only used one cup.)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

(I used a big wooden spoon and mixed by hand.)

In a mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar and shortening until smooth. Add the water, vanilla, and eggs. Stir well. Add the salt, baking soda. Stir well. Add the cocoa powder and stir again. Add the flour and mix again until all mixed. (It will be thick!) Add the chocolate chips last and stir again.

Place on parchment covered cookie sheet or spray the cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Scoop cookie dough with small spoon and form into a ball. Place balls on parchment covered or sprayed cookie sheet.

Bake for 11-13 minutes or until firm and set.

Let cool about five minutes and remove to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!

I scooped the dough with regular "eating spoons" and formed into balls, then placed on the cookie sheet.

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.)
