Recipe Introduction

There are two flavor cookies: chocolate and gingerbread. The cookies are dense and not very sweet, this is necessary 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 "cat droppings".

List of Ingredients

Chocolate ingredients:

· 1/2 cup honey

· 2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine

· 1 egg

· 1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract

· 2 cups whole wheat flour

· 1/3 cup cocoa powder

· Grape-Nuts cereal

Gingerbread ingredients:

· 1/4 cup honey

· 1/4 cup molasses

· 2/3 cup(1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine

· 1 egg

· 2 and 1/3 cups whole wheat flour

· spices--ginger, cinnamon, and cloves to taste (1/2 tsp each)

· Grape-Nuts cereal

Mix-ins:

· coconut

· chocolate chips

· butterscotch chips

· peanut butter chips




Recipe

Microwave the honey until it bubbles (about 1 minute). Add the butter, 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 grape-nuts and bake at 350 degrees till done (10 to 15 minutes).

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