Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1/4 cup honey for natural sweetness and binding
  • 1/4 cup molasses for depth of flavor and color
  • 2/3 cup butter softened
  • 1 egg the binder
  • 2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour adds nutty flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 32 ounce package wheat and barley nugget cereal for unique texture and look
  • 1/2 cup crushed ramen noodles for surprising crunch
Optional Additions
  • shredded coconut optional
  • chocolate chips optional
  • chopped nuts optional

Equipment

  • Medium-sized Bowl
  • Refrigerator
  • Oven
  • Shallow bowl or plate
  • Cookie Sheet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, gently microwave your honey until it's nice and bubbly. Carefully stir in the molasses, butter, and egg. Keep stirring until everything is wonderfully smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Now, it's time to add the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to your wet mixture. Stir it all together until you have a dough that's nicely combined.
  3. Step 3: This is where you can really have some fun! If you're feeling adventurous, feel free to stir in some extra goodies like shredded coconut, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle more of crushed ramen noodles for extra crunch.
  4. Step 4: Pop the dough into the refrigerator and let it chill until it's firm enough to handle. This usually takes about an hour, but you can speed it up if you're eager!
  5. Step 5: While your dough is chilling, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. Step 6: Once the dough is firm, take it out and roll it into logs. Aim for logs that are about ¾ inch in diameter.
  7. Step 7: Now, cut your logs into pieces that are your desired cookie length.
  8. Step 8: Take your wheat and barley nugget cereal and place it in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Gently roll each cookie piece in the cereal, pressing lightly so it sticks all around.
  9. Step 9: Place your cereal-coated cookie pieces onto an ungreased cookie sheet. They don't need much space, as they don't spread too much.
  10. Step 10: Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they're lightly golden brown.

Notes

If your dough feels too sticky to handle, don't be afraid to add a tablespoon more of flour at a time until it's manageable. Properly chilling the dough will make rolling and cutting much easier. Try to make your logs and cut pieces as uniform in size as possible for even baking. Keep an eye on them in the oven; they can go from golden to burnt pretty quickly!
