Any Home Bakers Here?

Made this new cookie recipe a couple days ago. Guess DH liked them, they're gone (I'll admit, I had a couple :p)!

Butter Pecan Cookies

For the buttered pecans:
1 1/2 Cup pecan pieces, finely chopped
1 1/2 Tab unsalted butter

For the cookie dough:
2 1/4 Cups AP flour
2 1/2 Tab cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter, melted until browned (step #3 below)
1 Cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 Cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
pecan halves, for decorating

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chopped pecans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Set aside until needed.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, baking soda; whisk to combine and set aside.

3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; continue cooking, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Allow to cool a bit so when you add the eggs, you don't cook them! Remove pan from heat and pour butter into a large heatproof mixing bowl. Add in both sugars and mix well. Add in vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating until eggs are just combined.

4. Fold in dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the buttered pecans.

5. Preheat oven to 375*. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, place tablespoon sized scooped balls of dough. Lightly flatten and press a pecan half on top. Bake in the preheated oven 8-9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
They look good!!
 
Just for fun...

Well, somebody decided to escape from her run and go out to eat for breakfast this morning.

When I went out to take care of the chickens this morning, I noticed that Sophie, the rabbit, escaped. She was in the front yard eating grass. I went out, looked at her, and said, "Sophie, what are you doing?"

She's got quite the personality.

Back on the baking subject, I am currently looking for more Goose recipes, mainly because I'm going out again tomorrow and there's a good chance I might get more geese.
