Yesterday, Luke and I spent the afternoon making cookies. I used a recipe that I found in one of my Mom's million holiday cookbooks :) I love the fact that Luke likes to bake with me. Mostly, he likes to use the mixer and get his hands dirty and taste each and every ingredient...but it's all good!
These cookies have no sugar in them...or eggs. At first I was a little scared that they weren't going to turn out, especially when I turned on the mixer after adding the flour and cocoa powder and it went POOF all over the place....but then we just used our hands and they turned out perfect. I like my cookies on the doughy side, so these are not my most favorite cookie, but they are good and very cute!
Just a few tips for baking these with a three year old:
You will end up with sprinkles everywhere. Seriously, sprinkles will go where no sprinkle has gone before!
That's ok because what's life without fun? So, I just let Luke go crazy with the sprinkles...he did refrain from eating them until I gave the ok..then when I said "you can eat the sprinkles now" he put a whole hand full in his mouth like he had been waiting his whole life to eat them :)
Honey Kissed Chocolate Drop Cookies
1 cup honey
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Rainbow sprinkles
Chocolate candy kisses
Cream honey and butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
Pour Rainbow sprinkles into separate bowl.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
Drop balls into rainbow sprinkles and roll around to coat.
Place balls on well greased baking sheet and gently press one kiss into center of each cookie.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Do not over bake.
Remove from baking sheet and cool.
This recipe says to beat in flour and cocoa powder. I wouldn't use the mixer because it all went poof when I turned mine on, I would use your hands and just smoosh it together until your dough forms.
