Dragon Scale Cookies by Severus Snape

As potions master at our Hogwarts Correspondence School, Snape likes to coerce the children into making their own edible potions. Here was today's recipe:

1 cup bile

1/2 cup crystals

1 cup sand from the Black Lake

2 thestral eggs

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cup ground tree bark

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

4 cups dragon scales

1 cup dried fruit and nuts (or butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, whatever you fancy)

Preheat oven to 375 F. Blend bile, crystals, and sand. Hold wands around mixing bowl and chant "I love cookies" 3 times. Add the thestral eggs, spider milk, and vanilla. Repeat the cookie chant. Beat well. Repeat the cookie chant. Add the remaining ingredients except for the dragon scales and beat. Beat well and repeat the cookie chant. (Do not fight over next ingredient no matter how cool it is.) Add dragon scales and fruit. Stir well (chant again) and spoon onto cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes.

PS If you don't have thestral eggs (we ran out) you can substitute applesauce, spider milk, and lemon juice in random quantities and hope that the Half-Blood Prince has mercy on you and allows the concoction to actually work!

YUM!
