-margarine, or lard

-extract
2 c Whole wheat flour

Grape-nuts(tm) cereal
Gingerbread ingredients:

1 Egg
2 And 1/3 cups whole wheat

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
sh__.
chocolate ingredients:
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
"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.
