Ingredients

• 0.25 Cup honey
• 0.25 Cup molasses
• 0.67 Cup butter, softened
• 1 Large egg
• 2.33 Cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ginger, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cloves, ground
• 32 Ounces (oz) wheat and barley nugget cereal, packaged
• 0.5 Cup ramen noodles, crushed

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, microwave the honey until it bubbles, about 1 minute. Stir in the molasses, softened butter, and egg. Beat until smooth and well combined.
2. Gradually add the whole wheat flour, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
3. Optionally, mix in additional ingredients like coconut, chocolate chips, or peanuts for extra flavor and texture. Chill the dough in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Roll the chilled dough into logs approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut into pieces about 2 inches long.
6. Roll each piece in the wheat and barley nugget cereal to coat. Place the coated pieces on an unprepared cookie sheet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and golden brown.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. For a playful presentation, serve the cookies in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of cereal, with a brand new litterbox scoop. Optionally, dip the scoop in melted chocolate for added fun.
