pink zebra cookies
Instructions
I made up a batch of Mama’s Pea’s cookie dough….
BUT omitted the chips and added some red gel food coloring to turn it hot pink. {Note: I’ve made this dough three or four times and usually add 2 T milk to my dough. Mama Pea says this may depend on the type of peanut butter you are using.} I discovered when I made the joconde cake last week that a few drops of Wilton’s Christmas Red turns a jaw-dropping bright pink.
I also dyed some sugar pink to rolls the cookie dough balls in for some added sparkle.
Roll the cookie dough into about two-inch balls, and lightly coat with the pink sugar.
Pop into the oven at 350 degrees and bake for around 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, unwrap some Hugs.
The cookies will be all pink and puffy after baking.
Immediately, place a Hug in the middle.
And press about halfway down the cookie.
Let cool completely so that the chocolate will set. You can also eat one now if you like a warm cookie and half-melted chocolate…..
They almost don’t look real, right? But they taste like peanut butter and chocolate and I think are super cute, maybe even sexy little cookies
