    So this is not a prepper/gun/DIY post – but man can’t like on preps alone – sometimes you just have to have fun with your kids, and I love sharing cookies and milk with my boy.

    Unfortunately, my bride does not understand that messes can be cleaned up, but kids are only kids once, so she does not appreciate when I act like a kid and get WT to spread cookies and milk across 3 rooms of the house.

    To keep the house clean AND still share the fun of dipping Oreo cookies in milk I found a solution.  This neat Oreo cookie trick uses a fork to keep the mess down.

    It works best with double stuffed, but I have used normal ones, as wall as cheaper generic cookies.  Simply press the tines of a fork into the white stuffing and use it as a handle to dip the cookies in milk.

    It keeps grubby fingers out of the milk, it allows the entire cookie to be dipped, and it cuts down on the mess.

    Its not as free spirited as a double dipping, dirty fingers, broken cookies adventure that is hand dipping, but it keeps my more sensible and cultured wife happy so I think that this is a good thing to share.

    As I said in the video, this is not a “prepper” recipe per se, but I imagine if you ever had to live off your food storage you would want to change up every now and then. I found this idea in an email and it took me a lot of trial and error to get it to work, but in the end it was a nice change of pace.

    The idea is to take cookie dough and place it on an upside down muffin tin so that as the dough spreads it will cover the tin and harden to make Cookie Bowls. This is great for stuffing with fruit ice cream or pudding. Sounds simple right?

    In reality, it took me several tries. Do not put dough on every spot as the dough on the ends will slide off (which if you don’t have a cookie sheet underneath will catch your oven on fire). Keep the cookie dough separated by at least one muffin “hole” or it will spread out and mix into one large bumpy cookie.

    Smaller is better, and you need to grease the tin as well as flatten the cookie dough on the tin to start the drooping process in a more controlled manner.

    In the end, the few that turned out “right” looked really good, and tasted great with a little ice cream and chocolate sauce, but this is a project I probably will never attempt again because (to me) it was not worth the effort for the result.
