Little Gator's Deep Shit Cookies

Here, by popular request(believe it or not) is the recipe for my famous
disgusting cookies that look like cat poops (rolled in grape-nuts, which
makes lovely fake kitty litter.

there are two flavors-chocolate(dark brown), and gingerbread(light brown)

I seldom measure carefully so 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 shit.

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
grape-nuts(tm) 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)
grape-nuts(tm) cereal
 
mix-ins:
 
coconut(tapeworms)
chocolate chips
butterscotch chips
peanut butter chips
cooked spagetti or ramen noodles(roundworms)
corn
peanuts
orn
peanuts
"those puffy pastel things you find at chinese restaurants
 (to look like the cat ate styrofoam packing pellets-i haven't tried this)

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 grape-
nuts and bake at 350 degrees till done(maybe 10 to 15 minutes but with
my flaky oven you never know).

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.  i imagine brown sugar might
work as a substitute for the new clumping litters, but i havent tried it.
