Answer: She used half of a pound of flour.

Explanation:

The amount of flour she bought to bake some cookies =
(3)/(4)\text{ of a pound}

Since, she used
(2)/(3) of the amount to bake her delicious chocolate chip cookies that means , the amount of flour she used would be


(2)/(3)*\text{amount of flour she bought}\\\\=(2)/(3)*(3)/(4)\text{ of a pound}\\\\=(1)/(2)\text{ of a pound.}

Hence, she used half of a pound of flour.
