I know, don’t judge. When you get past the grossness of these cookies you gotta admit, they’re pretty dang funny, right? Come on! It’s almost April Fool’s Day. Live it up!
My daughter and her friend were a riot making these. We don’t have a cat so her friend was the “expert”. Oh my gosh. I was laughing so hard as I heard “you have to make them smaller. Cat poops are smaller” and a plethora of cat poop critiques. Funny!
Don’t they look gross? (In a totally cool, April Fool’s Day sort of way.)
I was a little disappointed with how much they “spread” when they baked. So I strongly suggest refrigerating the dough for at least 2 hours. Maybe that will help. Or cut the butter down a little. Regardless, the cookies were delicious! They were moist and chocolatey and oh, so, good. If you can get past what they look like.
