The Cause
Here we are at the third annual Good Cookie Food Bloggers' Valentines' Event hosted, again, by the amazing Julie of The Little Kitchen who wants to make a different in the fight against pediatric cancer. This fun event crosses borders with bloggers from all over and raises fund for Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a national non-profit organization committed to funding new therapies used in the fight against pediatric cancer, which claims the lives of more children in the US than any other disease.


Did you know that cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S.? There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. With less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget going to all childhood cancer combined, I knew it was important for me to get involved. 

Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids' Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Last year we raised $13,395!! Wow. Because these three companies: Dixie Crystals, OXO, and Mediavine have each pledged to match our donations we are looking to raise $3,000 to end up with a $12,000 donation to fight pediatric cancer.

Every little bit helps! Donate here.


As a thank you for participating in this event, one of the event sponsors OXO sent me a great care package. I used them in the creation of this cookie. Grateful!

All the Cookies
Before we get to my cookies, here's the line-up!


 My Cookie:
Læsø Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

A quick note about the title: Læsø Salted. I noticed this canister in the store when I was grocery shopping with my friend in Denmark. "Oh, that's a special salt from Læsø Island," she explained. That's all she needed to say. I popped it into the cart. I packed it in my carry-on luggage. And I answered for the "unidentifiable powder" to the customs inspector. Thankfully, they let me keep it. I only wish I had gotten more.

Turns out Læsø Salt is unfiltered handcrafted sea salt which has been used and produced since ancient times on Læsø Island, Denmark. Still using the processing techniques from the 11th century, they collect groundwater on the south side of the island. They boil it in a large kettle until it crystallizes, then they hang it to dry longer in a fired hut.

On one hand, I love it and have been using it in everything. On the other hand, I feel as if I should save it for special occasions. I'm still debating.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 C olive oil
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 C dark brown sugar, lightly packed (prefer Dixie Crystals)
  • 2-1/2 C flour
  • 1 t baking soda
  • pinch of flakey sea salt + more for sprinkling (you can substitue Maldon or other kind)
  • 1 C semisweet chocolate chips
  • Also needed: cookie scoop, silicone mat, and baking sheet (prefer OXO)

Procedure

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, vanilla, eggs, and brown sugar. Whisk until blended. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to bowl and mix until ingredients are completely moistened. 



Fold chocolate chips into the dough with a spatula.


Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough into balls.


Place scoops 1" apart on the baking sheet and place in the oven.


Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to let cool. The cookies will firm as they cool.


Serve cookies immediately or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container.

My opinion is 100% my own and 100% accurate.

    This recipe was one I have used over and over many times. In place of using the white chips, I have substituted butterscotch chips instead. Of all the cookies I have made this one is requested the most often. May I also present a hint I have used while cooking these-oven temp. set to 350 degrees and cook cookies for 10 minutes. They are delicious.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
