Fair week has just wrapped up for us and it was a big, BIG week!! How big?? you might ask... Very big... the week was very big and so exciting. I will do a post tomorrow highlighting all the gorgeous details of our grand Ohio State Fair...which is still going on (now through August 7, 2016) and some of our local fair fun... This fair season, I was lucky enough to walk away with a new handful of prize-winning entries and a shiny new collection of blue ribbons... The competitions were fun, and full of very excellent baked goods... It's wonderful to have a tough competition. It really is... While that might seem like a strange thing to say... having to really earn your ribbon means so much more when every class is filled with top-notch, high quality entries. Truly. Good competition makes everyone better. (I think this is true across the board, in any competition) For me, great competitions start and end with amazing baked goods and as a result the talent grows each year... Entries get more creative, the depth of each class increases and the technical know-how of each class soars, ...making it a very well-earned blue ribbon. Winning is fun, but winning in a class of technically sound, absolutely stunning products...it's just a little sweeter. ...So, before I get to perhaps my biggest news of all... we have to back up to two weekends ago... I must set the stage so you can imagine just how scatter-brained I was... I had the pleasure of co-hosting my 25th class reunion... Our fabulous planning committee put on and hosted a fun-filled walk down memory lane and a silent auction for a wonderful non-profit, created by one of our classmates. Twenty-five y e a r s, two and one-half decades ago...whew!!... Can you even believe it?? I cannot believe it's even possible that I might have graduated from high school 25 years ago... I just can't. 25 years sound like a long time ago... but it sure does not feel like it. It was a busy...busy weekend, leading up to the reunion, during and after. In the hustle and bustle of the reunion madness, I had to pull together my early entries for the Ohio State Fair. A couple of dear friends, Art and Terri, offered to take my entries up to the fair for me -- which was such a gift, it's almost a two hour drive... Have you ever been so busy and so scattered you kept forgetting simple things?? Me too. I was doing a lot of forgetting... First of all, I held off on baking until the last minute... It was strategy. If my baked goods had to be in a holding pattern for a day or two... (like every one's entries) I needed my cookies to be as fresh as possible. So it probably did not help one bit that I was hurrying to put on the all-important finishing touches... at the last possible moment. In the world of baking competitions, There is a fine line between winning strategy and disaster. Before I knew it, it was time to meet my friends for the hand off... I went to meet them and realized as I was pulling in.... I had left all my fair tags on the counter... Who does that?? I was so preoccupied with getting the recipes printed and making sure everything was just so... that I completely forgot the tags... no tags, no entry... As luck would have it, my friends needed to retype one of their very own recipes... giving me just enough time to run home and collect my forgotten tags... I collected my tags...zipped to our new drop-off location and then realized I had left the all-important and qualifying UPC label at home... How could this be?? I told Terri, "Please...Let's leave those cookies out.... They are not that important..." As it turns out, I could not have been more wrong. Terri insisted we run to a nearby grocery and pick up a new UPC label... I truly wanted them to get on the road, I felt terribly that they were already leaving later than planned... Terri insisted we stop for the UPC... and so we did. Terri and Art saved the day, they should receive a blue ribbon for patience and friendship. About the cookies I suggested we leave behind... those little 'ol things?? Those cookies are the proud first place winners in the 2016 Gold Medal Cookie Contest... Another thing that helps these "Salted Caramel Pecan Turtle" bar cookies... they taste better the next day. At least I think so... So they were really at their peak when the judging took place... which was a happy coincidence. Lucky me... lucky judges! Here's the recipe: and one more time... 2016 Gold Medal Flour Cookie Contest Karri Perry, 1st place, 2016 Ohio State Fair Salted Caramel Pecan Turtle Bars Crust: 2 ¼ cups Gold Medal All-Purpose Flour ¼ teaspoon baking powder ¼ cup granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened Filling: 2 sticks (1 cup) butter 1 ½ cup packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream ½ cup corn syrup, light 12 ounces chopped pecans ¾ cup milk chocolate chips Caramel icing: 4 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon heavy cream 1/8 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/8 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste) For Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
