Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe

Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe

I have to admit I am a little obsessed with brown butter and my daughter has taken up my obsession. My teenager has been playing around with brown butter cookie recipes and we think she finally found the perfect combination!

She tested lots of different recipes and scoured the comments and three batches later we think we found a winner. This recipe seemed to have a little too much salt for our liking and the chilling of the dough in this recipe seemed to really pull the cookies together. So we took what seemed to be the best of each recipe.

Air Fryer Bacon: Easiest Way to Make Bacon

Posted at EST by Leave a Comment 11 Feb

air fryer bacon

 

I wanted bacon this morning but didn’t want to babysit the stove and I’m not a fan of microwaved meats….so I pulled out my air fryer and voila! Perfect bacon!

Shop Air Fryers Here

Just place the bacon in the basket- a few folds is fine but try not to overlap it too much. They shrink as they cook so a few overlaps is fine but you don’t want them stacked on top of each other. The full 16 oz package took 2 batches.

Cook on 400 degrees for about 10 minutes and then check it.  I like mine REALLY crispy so it was about 12 minutes to perfect for me.

Be sure to check the basket because it fills with grease quickly.

Dutch Oven Bread from Pizza Dough

Dutch Oven Bread from Pizza Dough

Ok y’all I went through THREE pizza dough balls to figure out the perfect way to get a thick crunchy crust on this bread while still having some flavor and I think I found it!

Check out dutch ovens here.

I used the pizza dough balls from Harris Teeter’s Deli and I did some trial and error and this final one came out SO delicious that I may have had several slices…all in the name of taste testing of course!  Here’s how I made it…..and I might have to make a few more for dinner this weekend.

This bread has a THICK, crunchy crust and a soft interior and the Italian spices and salt on the top add the perfect flavor!  Allow it to rise a LOT, when you move it it will fall some.

Dutch Oven Bread from Pizza Dough

There is no measurement for the seasonings ( sorry I’m a shaker not a measurer) so just give a few shakes evenly across the pan (remember the pna is HOT so be careful.

Air Fryer Split Chicken Breast

Air Fryer Split Chicken Breast

If I had to pick one small appliance that makes my life easier- it would be a hard choice between by pressure cooker and my air fryer. Both do AMAZING things and make me look like an amazing cook…in a fraction of the conventional time.

Air Fryer Split Chicken Breast

From package to plate- this was about 45 minutes for this recipe for Split-Chicken (Bone-in) Chicken Breast.

You can mix up the spices to create different flavors.  I was using mine in tacos so I didn’t want to have too many flavors because I’ll be adding sauces to the final taco.  Other ideas: Use dry ranch mixes sprinkled on top instead of spices or use taco seasoning, or just use poultry seasoning.

Easy Air Fryer Donuts

Easy Air Fryer Donuts

Ok YUMMMO.  These are super easy to make with canned biscuits – but serious tip: Do NOT use flaky biscuits.  They taste great but come apart in layers that are not very donut- like.

Airfryers are AWESOME. Seriously give the taste and texture of fried foods with little to no oil! Next to my InstantPot this is my favorite kitchen gadget.

These are so easy to make with just three ingredients; melted butter, canned biscuits and sugar.  You can mix it up and use different toppings than plain sugar- make a cinnamon sugar mixture, use cinnamon, allspice and brown sugar to make a churro flavor, or just drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup!

Homemade Soft Pizza Bites (from Pizza Dough)

 

I LOVE a warm pretzel dipped in marinara sauce and today I had a craving. I grabbed a bag of store bought pizza dough and created pretzel bites and they were AH-Mazing.

You could serve these with cheese sauce if you prefer- but marinara is my personal favorite!
