The Garola version of Christina Tosi's Compost Cookies

I first saw this recipe on Live with Regis and Kelly a few years ago. I liked the premise as I am not a recipe planner, but rather a deal with what I've got kind of meal maker. We of course put our own Garola spin on it.

Our version goes like this.

Mommy makes up some generic cookie dough mix without adding any flavor.

Meanwhile, Cade and Cora both have individual bowls and mix up whatever they think might be good in a cookie and is found in our cabinets. It usually turns out much better if we have some sort of yummy chocolaty candy included, but this particular day... we didn't!

This time around Cade choose a mixture of pretzels, goldfish crackers, chocolate teddy grahams sprinkles and cinnamon. Yummy, huh?

Cora's mixture was peanut butter, grape jelly, teddy grahams, and pink sprinkles!

We then divide the dough in half, mix with the kiddos mixtures, refrigerate for a couple of hours,
form balls, put on cookie sheets, and cook!


Yummy and fun! It's surprising that they actually taste pretty good!

Rob and Cade liked Cade's mixture better this time and the girls preferred Cora's! :)
