Sneetch Treats
From Georgeanne Brennan
October 27, 2006

If you've ever wondered what green eggs and ham really taste like, there's a new book that will let you find out.

Georgeanne Brennan has written the "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook," and it's filled with simple, scrumptious, wacky recipes for such foods as Cat in the Hat Pudding and Moose Juice and Schlopp.

Each recipe is accompanied by the original Dr. Suess verse that inspired it, and the pages are laminated to protect against splatters of Sneetch Salad, Oobleck, and Solla Sollew Stew.

Whether Star-Belly or Plain-Belly, when Sneetches get together for a marshmallow roast, they all eat Sneetch Treats, which are Sneetch-style s'mores. To toast the marshmallows, use sticks or long-handled barbecue forks, just like for the Nook Hook Cook Book Dogs. Make the cookies ahead so they're all ready, or use store-bought cookies.

Ingredients

8 ounces butter, melted

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups uncooked one-minute oatmeal

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup golden raisins

3 chocolate bars, 3 1/2 ounces each, broken into squares

24 marshmallows

Oak, pecan, hickory, or pine sticks, about 3 feet long, soaked in water (long-handled barbecue forks may be substituted)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl and mix well.

3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix with a whisk, then add to the butter mixture.

4. Add the oatmeal, walnuts, and raisins and mix well.

5. Drop the cookie batter onto ungreased baking sheets, 1 tablespoon at a time. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.

6. Bake until golden and firm, about 12 minutes. Remove to a cake rack to cool. The cookies can be made a day or two ahead. Let cool and then store in an airtight container.

7. When you are ready to eat, put a square of chocolate on each of 24 cookies.

8. Place the marshmallows on the sticks or barbecue forks.

9. Prepare a wood or charcoal fire in a fire pit or barbecue, or heat a gas grill. Hold the marshmallows over the heat, being careful not to get too close. Cook, turning, until the marshmallows are just turning golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.

10. Using a fork, push a marshmallow on top of each of the chocolate squares and top with another cookie, squeezing together to make a cookie-chocolate marshmallow Sneetch Treat.

Makes 48 cookies and 24 servings
