Since my daughter is obsessed with emojis and especially the poop emoji, for her birthday this year I made these poop emoji cookies as a treat to share with her class. Needless to say, they were a huge hit! They are based on a German cookie recipe and are different than American cookies — pretty dry and not very sweet as in Germany cookies are always eaten with tea or coffee. I'll be making them again as Halloween cookies.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar

- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 egg
Instructions

1
Combine flour, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Work in butter with your fingers until mixture resembles small crumbs. Add milk and egg; knead into a soft dough. Place in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll dough into long, thin 8-inch ropes, pinching one end into a pointy tip. Arrange in the shape of a little poop-mound with the pointy tip on top; place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between individual cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly darkened on the bottom and dried, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet and transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.

Mix 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar with lemon juice to form a thin icing. Glue 2 candy eyeballs on each poop cookie and let dry.

Beef-Stuffed Mushrooms
This is an 18th-century beef-stuffed mushroom recipe that I have altered slightly. Better make a double batch because these go fast. Sausage can be substituted for ground beef.
Tortellini Chowder
Very good and hearty. Combines Italian tortellini with Mexican seasonings. Top with tortilla chips and fresh cilantro.
Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Icing
These pumpkin cookies with maple icing are a mix between a cake, bread, and a cookie! The best cookies I have ever had! Leftover cookies should be refrigerated in an airtight container and allowed to come to room temperature before serving.
