The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2013 #FBCookieSwap

By

I just signed up to participate in the 3rd Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. Co-hosted by Love and Olive Oil and The Little Kitchen, I figured this was a great way for me to get some new cookie recipes and support a great cause at the same time. Besides, I loved it last year! My required $4 donation goes directly to Cookies for Kids' Cancer. Oh, and I get three dozen cookies in return, from three different bloggers. Sweet!

One of the agreements, though, is that I have to make cookies that I've never made before. So, I can't make anything we've made and blogged before.

No Kurabie (Albanian Lemon Cookies), no Lavender Sugar Hearts, and no Honningkagehjerter (Danish Gingerbread Hearts).

Last year I sent my recipients Boozy Salted Fennel Pollen Shortbread to rave reviews!

And one of the cookies I received -  Potato Chip Cookies from Kathy at The Cheap Gourmet - became a family favorite. Who would have thought to put potato chips in a sweet?! Not me.

So, I'm asking for any favorite cookie recipes from you, to expand my cookie repertoire. Please. Pretty please! Leave me a comment or email me: constantmotioncamilla [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks in advance. And, if you'd like to join the fun, check out the cookie swap announcement.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
