\"healI caught wind of a limited time custom blend offering in California, and I was lucky enough to have my friend Alia<\/a> snag a bag and send it to me.<\/p>\n

Heal the bay<\/a> and Starbucks have joined in a year long partnership, to help promote clean local beaches and watersheds. This partnership spans\u00a092 stores (!!) from Thousand Oaks to El Segundo. The Heal the Bay blend is being offered through February, so if you are in Southern California, check to see if your store carries it. Each bag is $5, and all proceeds go directly to Heal the Bay!<\/p>\n

If you are not able to grab a bag, I\u2019ll post the recipe for this blend so you can try this pairing and share with your partners!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Heal the Bay blend consists of 3\/4 Yukon and 1\/4 Komodo Dragon. I love pairing Yukon with oatmeal, and I love pairing Komodo Dragon with a little spice and heat. I decided to make spicy oatmeal cookies. Originally, I wanted to add cilantro and peanuts, but I decided to keep it simple and just stick with ginger, cayenne and top it off with a decadent brown butter-cardamom glaze. These cookies are addicting, and pair perfectly with the coffee. The subtle spice notes from the Komodo are mimicked with the cayenne in the cookie.<\/p>\n
