MAGICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.

My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it. 

Ingredients + Magick correspondences

Witchy Tip: Place a piece of rose quartz charged with positive energy near the food to make the food taste better

Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate bar (I use Hershey) No measurement, because you measure that shit with your heart.

Directions

Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.

Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. 

Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.

With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?

I love you all! My DMs, mail, and comments are always open!

Erin felt her blood pumping through her body as she tried to jog to the schooner. Her head was fuzzy, and all she could see was them. Her lungs filled with air she couldn’t breathe and she clutched her chest. Gunshots and cries rang out around her but she couldn’t hear them. Get to the ship, she thought. If you don’t get to the ship they're dead.

From on the roof, Jesper spotted her stunning towards the dock, and moved to pick off anyone that tried to attack her.

“There!” Jesper yelled, hoping someone would go help the Shadow. Wylan was the only one who heard him, and looked to see Erin getting closer. Sweat covered her face and it looked like she’d been crying. Erin clumsily pushed past Rotty, who was helping Wylan keep the shooters back.

She staggered over the ship, grabbing the ropes that kept them from floating off.

Untie the ropes, lift the anchor, fly the sails. She repeated it in her head like a mantra. Rope, Anchor, Sails.

She hadn’t touched a ship since… well since she came to Ketterdam. Her heart was pounding faster than Jesper could shoot, and she felt her stomach rise. Erin froze as she tried to lift the anchor, her hands touching the cold water.

I’m drowning. Where is the surface? I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe—

“I got it”

Rotty pulled the anchor up for her. His voice broke Erin out of her trance for the moment. She looked around, realizing everyone was on board and they had left the harbor. Matthias was the only one on deck, throwing up over the side.

Erin sank down to the floor of the ship, shutting her eyes. This is not the Cardea. This is not the Cardea. You will not drown, you will not drown. It took everything she had to stand back up, placing her feet on the railing and hoisting herself up the rope rungs to reach the sails. She gagged as she looked down. Even from his place on the deck, Rotty could tell she was trembling. He disappears below deck, looking for something.

The Shadow pulled the sails down and out, the boat picking up speed. It gave her a rush, and for a moment she enjoyed the wind in her face. Then she vomited.

“Watch it!”

Kaz looked up from the deck, scowling. He looked like shit. Blood splattered on his face and clothes, his usual sheened back hair in his eyes. Erin didn’t respond, shimming down the rope and placing her feet on solid ground.

“I thought you were a sailor.” He grumbled, stepping around the liquid on the deck. He gripped the railing, obviously queasy himself.

Erin held onto the rope

“I said I had been sailing. There’s a difference.”

Now that she was close enough to the edge, she saw her reflection in the water. It flickered between the mess she was now, and the scared girl she was. She felt sick again and covered her mouth, shaking. Kaz glanced at her.

“You need to be faster. If you had been gone any longer we’d have been screwed” he said coldly. Underneath his demeanor, she could’ve sworn there was concern in his eyes.

“Wouldn’t have to worry about it if you hired a damn crew” Erin grimaced as water splashed her.

“I didn’t think I needed one. Clearly I was wrong. You can barely stand without getting sick.” He scoffs

Erin glares at him, sweat dripping from her chin. If he noticed, he wasn’t letting on. She roughly pushed past him and up to the wheel, trying to think about anything other than the unforgiving water. Kaz was upset about something and followed her.

“Do you understand me? If you falter we all die.” He raises his voice slightly. Erin flinches, for the first time since they’ve known each other. That, he notices.

“Erin.” His voice is taught.

“I’m perfectly aware of the situation.” She responds.

“Then act like it”

Erin clutches the wheel tighter. She’s angry. She’s not sure why, maybe Kaz’s attitude had been too much. He didn’t seem to care about how she felt, of being on the sea made her feel. Erin’s face falls into a dark glare.

“You’re tardiness almost got us all killed and if you get sick while piloting the ship-“

“I know!” Erin yelled. She whipped her body to face him. Kaz merely raised an eyebrow, expecting her to continue. She wasn’t sure where she was going with this, her breathing was labored.

“Why are you acting like this is my fault. You didn’t have to be first mate”

That pissed her off. “First mate?? I am the only mate. I am the only person on the godforsaken ship that knows how to sail, or navigate, or anything that will get us to Fjerda.”

Kaz’s face remained unemotional. He glanced up seeing Jesper come up from the cabin. The sharpshooter looked at Erin and his eyes widened in concern

“Erin? Erin are you ok? Saints Kaz, what did you say to her” Jesper glared at his friend. Kaz shifted his weight.

“Reminding my Shadow that we’ll be fish food if she’s late again.”

Jesper puts his arms around Erin, who was clearly not hearing their conversation. He felt her shaking, and bet that Nina could hear her heart beat, even from below deck.

“She’s having a panic attack Kaz”

Jesper leaned down and looked at Erin. He tried to run the dried blood from her face.

“I’m fine” was all she could say. From behind her, Kaz clenched his jaw. He wasn’t quite sure how to feel. Upset he didn’t notice or upset she could be affected so easily. It’s not like he had a place to speak, it took most of his strength to not go running to the rail and throw his breakfast up.

“You are not fine. What happened at the harbor? You looked like you’d been running,” Jesper asked. Erin’s breathing calmed slightly and she was able to speak again.

“There were too many of them- I led five, no six of them down an alley. There wasn’t an exit.”

“And then?”

Jesper thought of Erin as a capable girl. Her shadows were not something to be on the wrong end of, but six men? He wasn’t sure how she made it out alive.

“And then I…. Then I-“

“Spit it out” Kaz said from his place at the wheel. He was growing impatient with her stuttering

“I cut them.”

Kaz looked over at her. The Cut. He’d never seen her do it, but from description of those that survived attacks from the Darkling, an infamous shadow summoner, he was sure he didn’t want to. He glanced at Jesper and the two of them made eye contact. There was a reason he’d never seen her do it, much like how he’s never taken his gloves off.

He stood unwavering in his place, watching Jesper comfort her. Part of him wanted to hold her too, and part of him wanted to strangle himself for thinking that. Kaz turned on his heels and departed to the cabin, needing to clear his head.

Hiya! I’ve got a great drink for you to celebrate the upcoming Autumn Sabbats:

Lavender Cider Tea:

This one is super easy.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

3x Apples

water to cover but not over fill

blender

french press for coffee or cheese cloth (and a funnel and bowl if you use cheese cloth)

1tblsp vanilla

1tsp cinnamon

1tblsp of food grade lavender

1tblsp of sugar (I use monkfruit sweetener myself)

Directions:

1. Chop apples into chunks removing the core. Blend the apples in your blender with enough water to cover

2. Pour apple mix into french press and slowly filter out the apple purée. (If using cheese cloth. Add apple purée slowly. And let it drain. After, squeeze as much fluid out as you can) Do this a few times until mostly clean. (took me a couple filters, but I do smaller batches)

3. pour cider into a saucepan to heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla

4. once heated, skim off some of the scum that floats to the top. And pour into a cup with your lavender (I use a reuseable tea/spoon steeper.

5. Let steep for 3-5 min

(I use the leftover apple purée and I make a doggy treat, I mix in plain yogurt with a bit of natural peanut butter and stick it in the freezer for my dogs later. Just make sure there’s no seeds)

Enjoy! Great for sleep or celebrating a harvest sabbat. Or if you want to do a past life regression journey. As lavender has great mental benefits.

Let me know how your cider tea turns out!

Super Fudgy Raspberry Stuffed Brownie Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups (200 g) raspberries, fresh or frozen

7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate, chopped

9 tbsp (125 g) unsalted butter, cubed

2 eggs

½ cup (100 g) white sugar

1 cup + 1 tbsp (130 g) plain gluten free flour blend (a simple store-bought blend of rice, potato and maize flour with no added xanthan gum)

¼ tsp xanthan gum

3 tbsp (20 g) cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

Instructions

First, make the raspberry filling:

In a small saucepan, cook the raspberries on medium-high heat until they have released their juice and part of the liquid has evaporated.

Pass the raspberry mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds and skin.

Return the raspberry juice to the saucepan and cook further until it has decreased in volume to about ½ - ¾ cup.

Spread the raspberry reduction on a piece of aluminium foil (that should be placed on top of a freezer-safe tray or plate) so that you make an even layer ~3 mm thin.

Freeze it for at least ½ hour, or until frozen solid.

Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and line two baking sheets with baking/greaseproof paper.

In a heat-proof bowl above a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.

In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer with the double beater attachment), beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 - 6 minutes, until pale, fluffy and greatly increased in volume.

Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture, and mix briefly until the chocolate has been evenly incorporated.

Sift together gluten free flour, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, and add it to the mixer. Mix for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until all flour has been incorporated and no flour clumps remain. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure the cookie batter is an smooth as possible.

Using a cookie scoop (or an ice cream scoop, or even just a spoon), transfer ~1 - 2 tbsp of the cookie batter onto the lined baking sheet and spread it out slightly (into a circle about 2 inches (5 cm) wide and about ¼ - ½ inch (6 - 12 mm) tick).

Cut a piece of the frozen raspberry filling that’s about ½ inch smaller in diameter than the cookie batter “circle” you’ve just made, and place it in the middle of the cookie batter.

(You don’t have to cut the filling in a circle, a square or rectangle that’s smaller than the cookie batter “circle” work just as well.)

Place ~1 tbsp of the cookie batter on top of the filling, and smooth it out using a spoon so that it completely covers the filling.

Repeat with the rest of the cookie batter and raspberry filling. This recipe makes about 10 - 12 cookies.

Bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for 12 minutes. The cookies should be slightly crackly on top, with a shiny crust. They will be soft when they come out of the oven, so leave them on the baking tray for about 1 minute before you transfer them to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!

These raspberry stuffed brownie cookies keep well in a closed container in a cool dry place for about 1 week.
