Just found this recipe online. They are cookies called "Brookies". Half is a brownie type cookie, the other half is a chocolate chip cookie. They look amazing. I think I'll make them for when my daughter and son in law visit. Thought I'd share. Share back if you have a great recipe that no one can resist. www.melskitchencafe.com/brookies/  |

I pinned them! And, from the same sight I pinned Double Chocolate cookie too.
I love cookies. I am in a cookie mood. And pudding. And cake. And brownies. And...well...I think I am just jonesing for something sweet. LOL

Yum, I pinned them too.
I have one question about the recipe though.... I often see recipes on US sites or books that call for butter by the tablespoon. The Brookies recipe says 10 tablespoons of butter for each of the 2 cookie doughs. Do you seriously have to dip your tablespoon into the butter 20 times?!?!?! Why don't the recipes say xxx ounces / grams of butter? Or can you buy butter in individually wrapped tablespoon segments over there? It actually puts me off making some of these great recipes. |

Aussie Meg, in the US you buy your butter by the pound, and USUALLY the pounds are divided into quarters (sticks). Each stick has tablespoons marked off on the wrapper.
I can't seem to add a picture, or I would.

Thanks for the reply Heart, that makes sense now! Our butter comes in 250g blocks, with 50g markings on the wrapper, so our recipes show butter measured in grams. I really want to make the Brookies but I don't fancy having to try and measure out 20 tablespoons of butter.

Meg, there are conversions online that will work that out for you. I just checked and 1 US Tbspn of butter equals 14grams  |

Can be frozen and reheated.This looks almost identical to the recipe I make! I only use half a stick of butter instead of 3 though, and I use French Fried onions instead of crackers. Can I share a recipe? |

Yup, that's it! They say that you might need to cook it longer depending on the size of your tenderloin ... use a meat thermometer ... I hope you like it |

ahiller that turkey recipe looks delicious. I'm going to make that next week. It was so good. My turkey breast was around 3 lbs. so I cooked it in my crockpot on low for about 6 hour and it came out perfect. We cheated and used regular turkey gravy - the first time we made this recipe, everything just seemed too sweet with gravy made from the drippings. |
