Recently I posted photos of my oatmeal raisin cookies and received all sorts of comments from friends and family. And those helped me create this recipe. First, a friend mentioned that she added tea to her oatmeal raisin cookies. Second, several friends engaged in some raisin-shaming, suggesting that chocolate chips were a better addition to oatmeal cookies than dried up grapes. Okay. Fine. I'm on board with chocolate chip cookies anytime!


I circled back to my friend who mentioned the teas and she said she adds the contents for a few tea bags. I just happened to have received a care package from The Republic of Tea* and read the labels to see which might be a nice flavor complement to oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies. You'll see other other two teas in different creations, but for these, I went with the new Star Wars: The Mandalorian - Warrior Herb Tea.

It's a caffeine-free herbal blend of rooibos, natural passion fruit flavor, hibiscus, natural mango and vanilla flavors, peony petals, sunflower petals, natural strawberry, and grapefruit flavors. And it smells delicious. Feel free to substitute whatever tea you have on-hand.

Ingredients makes approximately three dozen 2" cookies

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup organic dark brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • contents of 4 tea bags (approximately 4 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • Also needed: baking sheets, parchment paper, cookie scoop (optional) 


Procedure
 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Once that mixture if lightened and fluffy, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Beat in the vanilla.

In a medium mixing bowl, blend together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and tea. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir in the oats. Fold in the chocolate chips.

 

Scoop out the dough by large tablespoonfuls - I use a cookie scoop - onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie. These flatten out and spread as they bake.

 

Place trays in the oven and bake until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown, approximately 16 to 18  minutes. 

Let the cookies cool for 3 to 4 minutes on the sheets. Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store tightly covered.

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

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

By
To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P

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.
