A Kitchen Witch Recipe for Joyous Chocolate Chip Cookies | Welcome To Wicca Now

Hi, my loves and welcome to WiccaNow. Recently I’ve been talking a little more about kitchen witchery, something that I personally feel particularly drawn to. I wrote a post about what being a kitchen witch actually means, along with posts on how to make a banishing salt, a botanical Witchipedia, a post about cinnamon and another about herbs for self-love. Today I want to continue along in this vein and share my favourite kitchen witch recipe for joyful chocolate chip cookies. 

I’ve been feeling a little (more like a lot) of anxiety lately. This is partially due to the current state of the world and partially due to some bad family news I received recently. While I’ve been trying to ease this anxiety with my anti-anxiety spell, I’ve also been trying to bring myself joy with small things that I love doing. This has meant that a lot of cooking and baking has been taking place at my house.

For me, picking up some butter and sugar brings me a lot of joy. I can stand in the kitchen and forget about whatever other stuff is happening in my life for a second. Because I’ve recognized that being in the kitchen can be a real help for me, I’ve been trying to do everything with much more intention recently. I identify as an eclectic witch, but a lot of my eclecticism is based around kitchen witchery and so I try to imbue every dish I make with magickal intention. 

I don’t know how much you already know about kitchen witchery, but a basic “rule” is to always try to match what you want to manifest with a recipe that suits whatever it is you’re searching for i.e. baking bread and kneading strength into the dough or casting a love spell by making a cupcake. In keeping with this idea, cookies are my ultimate joy bringer.

How great is the smell from a batch of freshly baked cookies? Walking into a home where cookies have just been baked is like walking into a big warm hug. You’re immediately enveloped in a cosy feeling of comfort and childlike joy. Exactly this is the feeling that this kitchen witch recipe for cookies aims to strengthen and share. Make a big batch, and share the joy and love you’ve created with everyone you know!

Kitchen Witch Recipe for Joyous Chocolate Chip Cookies

While this recipe is my own, I’ve taken inspiration from Sarah Kieffer by adding a bit of pan banging to the recipe. I love that this technique gives the cookies crispy edges and soft, chewy centres.

A Few Notes on this Kitchen Witch Recipe for Joyful Cookies

  • The important part of this recipe is to imbue your cookies with your magickal intention the whole time that you’re making them. You’re aiming to bring joy with them so if you’re in a good mood you’ll have a better result. If I try to bake when I’m grumpy or stressed things never go as I planned (both magickally and in terms of whatever it is I’m trying to bake). In saying this though, sometimes I use baking as stress relief, I just know what type of stress I can bake away and what type of stress I can’t get rid of and will be detrimental to my kitchen magick.

This kitchen witch recipe should have you turning out cookies that make you as happy as this guy.
  • Please follow the recipe when it comes to resting the cookie dough. I know sometimes it’s hard to wait for things to chill but believe me when I say it makes a huge difference to the cookies if they are properly chilled before you bake them! 
  • Caster sugar is a must here. If the white sugar is too coarse, you’ll end up with really grainy cookies. I made them yesterday and didn’t have any fine sugar so I blended the sugar I had in a Vitamix until it was a little finer and it worked perfectly. Weirdly, it’s hard to find good sugar to bake with in Berlin. Brown sugar doesn’t seem to exist and even “fine” white sugar is quite granulated rather compared the fine sugar I’m used to using. 
  • Because you are using kitchen magick here, use the best quality ingredients you can afford. I find that the quality of the ingredients can positively impact both the magickal working of the recipe and also the baked product that you make. 
  • Please note that all ovens run at different temperatures so the baking times may vary slightly. Mine is quite hot, so things bake a little faster. Use your awesome bakers intuition to judge when these are baked to your liking.

The magickal properties of the ingredients in this Kitchen Witch Recipe

Most of the ingredients here have magickal properties. I want to explain these briefly so that you can learn a little more about the process of matching recipes to intentions in kitchen magic. 

  • Sugar draws sweetness to you. By using it in these cookies you’re drawing sweetness to yourself and anyone who eats the cookies. Sweetness can also be interpreted as love, so you are drawing love and affection with the sugar in these cookies.
