How To make Acorns
Ingredients
1
cup
butter, melted
3/4
cup
brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2
cups
pecans, fine, chopped, divided
2 1/2
cups
flour, sifted, all-purpose
1/2
teaspoon
baking powder
1
cup
semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
This is an easy yet elegant butter-pecan cookie shaped to resemble an acorn and dipped in melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking powder and mix well, using low speed.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Slightly flatten by pressing balls onto un-greased cookie sheets; pinch tops to point to resemble acorns. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
In top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; keep double boiler over water.
Dip large ends of cooled cookies into melted chocolate, then roll in chopped pecans. Cool to set chocolate.
Yield: 3 dozen.

How to harvest acorns for FOOD
Acorns, my gateway drug to foraging. Here we have one of the most abundant sources of wild food on the planet! The only catch is, we can't eat them straight off the ground, they require some processing. In this series, we're going to go through every step of the journey of turning acorns into bread!
Part 1 shows us the fastest way to harvest acorns without any special equipment. We also learn different methods to sort our harvest, leaving behind only the good acorns, and last we'll dry them for long-term storage.
We are so excited that you're joining us on this journey!

Binging with Babish: Carol's Beet & Acorn Cookies (feat. Ashwin Enjoys Nature)
When you think of The Walking Dead, the word 'appetizing' certainly doesn't come to mind. It's no surprise then that Carol Peletier's foraged cookies are earthy, doughy, ugly desserts of necessity. Hobbled by the 3-punch-combo of beets, acorns, and water chestnuts, follow along as we try and fail to make a concoction worth baking.
