Last night we were picking the boys up from school, and among the usual treasures of abstract impressionism that they were bringing home there were two Christmas-tree-shaped gingerbread cookies. They looked good, and smelled like deep, dark apple cinnamon. A piece had broken off and so, making sure that no one was watching, I popped it into my mouth.
Frankly, it wasn't very good. The cinnamon was there, but the texture was off, and it wasn't sweetened enough. I forced it down and swore I would never again eat anything baked by toddlers.
Well, this cookie was really not settling well, and I began to have suspicions. I asked "Gab, are those cinnamon things in the back seat cookies, by any chance?"
"You didn't eat them, did you? They're Christmas ornaments! Sam will be so upset!"
For the record, here's the recipe:
- 1 part ground cinnamon
- 1 part applesauce
- 1 part Elmer's white glue
Mix, flatten, punch out cookie shapes. Bake at 350° until done.*
* Note: do not eat.
