We wanted to make a cookie that would spread out in a puddle and look like...you know what. This recipe is adapted from a 1950's Good Housekeeping recipe for Broomstick Cookies. We didn't use blanched almonds because we wanted a darker color.
We were able to find candy peas but Trail Mix or dried fruit in it works well. We've even made them with dehydrated corn kernels. You just want to give the impression that some of the "food" is digested while some is not. They look yucky but taste great.
