These Chocolate Mint Frappuccino Cookies have a chocolate coffee base and are filled with mini chocolate chips and mint chips.
In hockey, if you play goalie, you have most likely played for almost every team in the league at some point.
Because at sometime in the season you need a substitute goalie.
And goalies love to play as much as they can.
So they almost always say yes. 🙂
People often think of hockey players as big tough guys.
And many of them are.
But most of them are all around great people.
When my husband had his heart attack, it was our hockey community who stepped up and helped with so much.
Often when hockey players hardly even know the person they will help out simply because the other person is a hockey person.
Even more so when we know the person.
So when our friend and sometimes substitute goalie, Derek’s 12 year old daughter Madison got leukemia, his team and the hockey world let him know we would help with anything.
Madison went through treatment and in April of 2020 it looked like the cancer was gone.
They were cautiously optimistic.
August 2020 came and everything changed for them.
It was unexpected and she was in another state.
So in the middle of a pandemic he had to gather up his family and rush to get to say goodbye as at age 13 Madison left her Earthly body.
With the support of the hockey community and their other friends and family they were able to.
Not everyone gets that level of support.
I wish they could.
But more than support I wish there was no need for it at all.
I think everyone can agree that cancer, especially that in children, needs to be gone.
And the one thing that can do that is research.
Which takes money.
I’m so excited to participate in this Cookies for Cancer Valentine’s event with my Chocolate Mint Frappuccino Cookies.
This is the fifth year the our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.
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.
The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.
It’s such a small number and that’s why I’m getting involved.
And with the ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer.
It’s imperative that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research!
Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!
Our goal is to raise at least $3000.
Because these three companies: OXO, Mediavine amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!
That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!
Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference!
We will be collecting donations until March 1st.
When deciding what cookie to make for this event I felt it important to ask Derek what were some of Madison’s favorite treats.
And I would do my best to turn that into a cookie.
Chocolate cake.
Frappuccinos.
DQ Mint Dilly Bars.
Those were some of the sweet treats listed.
So I created a chocolate and coffee based cookie.
That has the texture more like a cakey brownie to have it be like chocolate cake.
They have mint chips folded into them to represent the Dilly Bar.
I really hope they are a cookie she would have loved.
