99 Adventures Episode 14: TX Flooding + CO Adventures

The devastating flooding in Texas has struck uncomfortably close to home—quite literally. Our home base at 99 Adventures sits near the epicenter of the July 4th flooding in the Texas Hill Country. It's a stark reminder of just how critical it is to have a GO BAG ready as part of any emergency preparedness plan. In this episode, we also shift gears to share the incredible time we had four-wheeling through the mountains of Colorado and our relaxing visit to Pagosa Springs.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe🍪
Tried this chocolate chip cookie recipe and it is awesome. The recipe doesn’t call for browning the butter but tried it and what a difference it makes. It’s included in the recipe…
¾ cup butter, brown the butter for 5-8 minutes. As soon as you start to see a little bit of brown, take it off the burner¾ cup granulated sugar1 egg1 tablespoon vanilla extract1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour½ teaspoon salt¾ teaspoon baking soda½ cup chocolate chipsPreheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line baking sheet with parchment paperIn a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set asideIn a bowl combine browned butter and sugar mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes)Add in egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined (do not over-mix)Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Cool the dough in the refrigerator before adding chocolate chips or add the chips immediately for a swirly look to the cookiesMake 1.5 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the baking sheet (you can place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before baking)Bake the cookies for 8-11 minutes. Remove from the oven when the edges look set and have just begun to darken. The cookies will be under-baked. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
