Icky Sticky Sugar Snakes
Ingredients
To make dough:
8 tb Unsalted butter -- at room
3 tb Honey
1 t Vanilla extract
1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Vegetable oil
1/2 c Chocolate chips
To make sticky sauce:
1/2 c Honey
2 tb Sugar
2 tb Ground cinnamon
Method
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- In a medium
bowl, mash the butter and honey with a fork until well
blended.
- Gradually stir in the vanilla extract, flour
and salt. The mixture should have a doughy
consistency.
- Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and
store in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Grease cookie
sheets with the vegetable oil.
- After an hour, remove
the dough from the refrigerator and separate it into
pieces the size of golf balls. If the dough sticks to
your hands, dip them in flour.
- Roll out balls between
your hands into snakelike shapes, about the length and
thickness of your pinky.
- Separate each ball into 4
smaller sections and roll each section into a snake.
- Place snakes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets.
- Bake for
20 to 25 minutes, or until the snakes begin to turn
light brown.
- Carefully remove the cookie sheets from
the oven and immediately remove the snakes from the
sheets to a platter.
- Allow snakes to cool slightly and
press 2 chocolate chip eyes into the head of each
snake.
- Set aside until completely cooled.
- To prepare
sticky sauce, mix honey, sugar and cinnamon in a small
bowl.
- Drizzle over the cooled snakes and serve.
