Chocolate Dust Cookies

I by no means thought I’d be so excited to share cookies coated in worms, however I suppose that’s simply what occurs while you’re a boy mother 🤷‍♀️ These filth cookies are impressed by the filth pudding cups my mother used to make once I was a child. They’re fairly tasty, a lot enjoyable, and my boys completely love them!

Regardless of the worms and the “filth” on prime, these cookies are literally actually scrumptious. The bottom is chocolatey, smooth, dense, and moist (it’s the identical one I exploit for many of my chocolate-based connoisseur cookies like my buckeye cookies and mint chocolate cookies). We’ll add a not-too-sweet chocolate cream cheese frosting earlier than topping with Oreo cookie crumbs and colourful gummy worms.

Why You’ll Love These Cookies

  • Balanced taste (not too candy!). Whereas these filth cookies are cute, they really tastes nice too. I do know cookies topped with frosting, extra cookies, and sweet would possibly sound like sugar overload, however I labored onerous to ensure they really style good and aren’t simply lovely.
  • Adults love them simply as a lot as youngsters! They’d make a good dessert for a bug or backyard themed get together .
  • No chilling the dough earlier than baking, so that they’re pretty fast to make at simply 40 minutes whole.
  • They’re a lot enjoyable! Get the children concerned with the adorning (it’s possible you’ll find yourself with piles of gummy worms on prime of your cookies when you do 🤣) and simply have enjoyable with it. You can even make some stiff buttercream or royal icing and dye it inexperienced to do some blades of “grass” on the cookies when you needed so as to add some extra coloration!

What You Want

Dust cookies have a reasonably easy ingredient checklist with nothing too fancy or hard-to-find. Listed below are the important thing gamers on this recipe.

  • Egg + egg yolk. Including an additional egg yolk to our cookie dough will make it tremendous tender and chewy. I do that with my brownie recipe for a similar purpose.
  • Brown sugar. Utilizing a mixture of gentle brown sugar and granulated sugar provides the right depth of taste and sweetness to those filth cookies.
  • Cream cheese. This prevents the frosting from being TOO candy and provides a pleasant taste too! I all the time use brick-style, full-fat cream cheese in my recipes, like my chocolate cheesecake or cream cheese frosting. Utilizing the spreadable form offered in tubs may trigger a runny frosting.
  • Oreo cookies. For our filth! We’ll pulverize these into crumbs earlier than sprinkling them on prime of our frosting. Identical to when making an Oreo crust, there’s no have to take away the cream earlier than crushing your cookies.
  • Gummy worms. I like to recommend utilizing common gummy worms, not the bitter form. Until you like bitter sweet and chocolate collectively–then by all means use bitter gummy worms! 🙃

SAM’S TIP: Follow pure cocoa powder; I discovered that Dutch course of cocoa was a bit too intense for filth cookies.

Keep in mind, that is simply an outline of the components I used and why. For the complete recipe please scroll all the way down to the underside of the publish!

Methods to Make Dust Cookies

  1. Put together your cookie dough. This can be a fairly fundamental chocolate cookie and yields a dough that’s a bit on the drier aspect, so make sure you steadily add your flour to assist it incorporate correctly.
  2. Roll the dough into balls and bake. I do 2 Tablespoon sized scoops; I don’t have a 2 Tablespoon sized scoop however usually simply do a heaping portion with my favourite 1 ½ Tablespoon one.
  3. Flatten the tops. My 1-cup measuring cup works nicely for this, however you could possibly use the underside of a consuming glass or actually something that gives you a clean floor for adorning.
  1. Swirl frosting on prime of every cookie. I exploit a piping bag for this, however you can too simply unfold it on with an offset spatula.
  2. Adorn with cookie crumbs and gummy worms. I usually just do 1 worm on prime of every cookie, however be at liberty so as to add extra when you like!

SAM’S TIP: Let your cookies cool utterly earlier than frosting, or the frosting will simply soften proper off. They received’t take too lengthy to chill as soon as you progress them to a cooling rack!
