Mission Moon Rocks
File this one away in the category of "great for kids." My son and I had a great time together making these easy drop cookies. Aidan is really into space and astronomy, so we called this recipe Moon Rocks.
- 1.25 cups Self-Rising flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 6 TBSP brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 6 TBSP butter
- pinch of salt
- 1/8 tsp. each of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sift together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry b blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the brown sugar and the raisins and mix well.
Add the egg and mix with a fork until the mixture is sticky. If the mixture does not come together well, you may need to add a few tablespoons of milk or water.
Form the dough into a big ball then begin pinching off large balls and drop them onto an ungreased cookie sheet. You should end up with about 12 dough balls.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and puffed. Cool on a wire rack.
