Lil' Taters

At home these cookies are called Little Potatoes, for the obvious resemblance. I called them "cookies" for a lack of a better word for it, as it is something in between a cookie and a cake. Its that kind of sweet you can make when you think there is nothing tasty at home, or when you have some crumbs from the previous project. Or just... when you feel like eating something earthly.


Need:
500g crumbs (plain bread ones normally used for roasts, or cookie/spondge crumbs... as long as it crumbles)
200 g of sugar
100 ml milk
200g butter
1 table spoon cacao powder

Heat milk up, melt butter and sugar in it. Mix cacao with crumbs, then gradually add milk mix and knead it through. Let it cool of in a fridge for 30 min, then make small balls and put back to the fridge to stiffen. Taste can be enhanced by adding nuts to it, or a wisp of cream on top.
