CAT POOP COOKIES

Here is the recipe for the infamous disgusting cookies that look like cats poops (rolled in grapenuts, which makes lovely fake kitty litter.)
Last warning - many of you may not want to read this!

There are two flavors: chocolate (dark brown), or gingerbread (light brown).

The author seldom measured carefully, so the amounts may need adjustment, especially on flavoring.The cookies are dense and not very sweet, this is necesssary so that they will keep their shape during baking.If you use white flour or sugar, they may be tastier but they won't look like poopies.

Chocolate ingredients:


1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter, margarine, or lard
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
grapenuts™ cereal
Gingerbread ingredients:


1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2/3 cup(1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine, or lard
1 egg
2 and 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
spices: ginger, cinnamon, cloves to taste (maybe 1/2 tsp each)
grapenuts™ cereal
Mix-ins (optional):


Coconut = tapeworms
Chocolate chips = poop chunks!
Butterscotch chips = diarrhea!
Peanut butter chips = diarrhea!
Cooked spagetti or ramen noodles = roundworms
Corn = self explanatory!
Peanuts = chunks

To make:

Microwave the honey till it bubbles (about 1 minute). Add the butter, (I've been told using lard makes for a more realistic texture and softer cookie) and the molasses, if any. Add the egg, mix well, then mix in all the other stuff. Add mix-ins of your choice to some or all of the batter.

Chill 1 hour in the freezer or several hours in the fridge. Roll dough logs of random length and the diameter of cat poops. Roll logs in grapenuts and bake at 350 degrees till done (about 20 minutes, but this varies so watch them.)

Serve in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of grapenuts, with a cat litter scoop.I hear you get lovely effects by decorating the box and scoop with melted chocolate or pudding.

Brown sugar might work as a substitute for the new clumping litters... Mixing brown sugar with the grapenuts "sweetens up the cookie a bit while still looking truly hideous."

This thread reminds me of the time I used to work at a trucking company. This guy was getting his lunches swiped a couple times a week. Soo..... he showed up one day with a "special lunch." That's right.... cat poop sandwiches. Sure enough, his lunch got stolen that day. And one guy went home sick about an hour after lunch.... it was completely priceless.

the cookies sound yummy........ but after thinking about that story...... mmm.....

Edit: *runs screaming out of thread after realizing he posted in a "recipe thread".... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggggg

Joyce...I love this. What a great idea, especially for catlovers. What a mindtrip to eat, I imagine.

(BTW, welcome back.)

John, that story about the lunch was so funny.

Has anyone heard of making a dessert that I think is called 'Dirt'?

It was made with choc pudding and crushed oreos and in the dirt are hidden gummy worms and centipedes. I don't know the actual recipe but it was served up in a (clean) child's sand pail with a play shovel.

My kids loved "dirt and worms"....

*ACK.... two posts in a recipes thread.... ACK*

Yep, and for kicks, you can put a fake plastic flower in it! I had an ice cream birthday cake like that once.

I'm a cat lover, and I can't imagine making or eating these. Of course, I don't eat white flour products or sugar anymore either, but if I did, I think I'd opt for 'Puppy Chow' instead.

There was a lot of whipped cream in my aunt's recipie, too. She made it at my request the last time I visited my dad's side of the family. Her preferred serving method is a large plastic flowerpot, with plastic flowers "planted" in the center. The first time, none of us dreamed we'd be eating the table's centerpiece for dessert.
