Walking Dead Carol’s Zombie Apocalypse Cookies

apocalypse zombie cookies
We are big zombie fans in my house {which is funny since I am not a fan of horror and gore} and Walking Dead is our favorite show. A couple episodes ago the group arrived to the Alexandria safe zone and tough girl Carol has decided to put on a front and act all sweet and innocent. She wears sweaters sets, has no clue how to hold a gun, and bakes delicious cookies! But we know the really Carol {also affectionately known as “Scarol” to WD fans} and she is one kick butt lady. However, she does know how to bake up a mean batch of apocalypse cookies! So when AMC released the recipe for Carol’s Cookies I knew I had to make them this week in honor of the Walking Dead finale. No eggs or butter in the apocalypse and chocolate is scarce so the recipe substitutes applesauce, shortening, and a small amount of chocolate {add more if you would like}. But the end result was a soft, fluffy cookie that was pretty dang good!
Don’t mess with Scarol!
Check out the recipe below! I would love to hear your opinions about these cookies and anything Walking Dead related below!

Ingredients:

Makes a dozen cookies
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 large chocolate bar {I used Hershey’s king size}
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup shortening, cubed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine applesauce, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix until blended.
  3. Add baking powder, baking soda, flour, salt, and vanilla. Mix until doughy and flour is fully absorbed.
  4. Let dough stand for five minutes.
  5. Melt chocolate (I used the double boiler method but you can also use the microwave).
  6. Add chocolate to dough and mix in.
  7. Add golf ball sized dollops of dough on a lined cookie sheet.
  8. Bake for 11-13 minutes.

Start with the basics in a large bowl: applesauce, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar. 


Mix until blended.


Add baking powder, baking soda, flour, salt, and vanilla. 


Mix until doughy and flour is fully absorbed.

Let dough stand for five minutes.

Oh the precious chocolate! Add more if you’d like or substitute chocolate chips!

Melt chocolate {I used the double boiler method but you can also use the microwave}.


Add chocolate to dough and mix in.
Lookin’ pretty tasty for Apocalypse cookies! 

Add golf ball sized dollops of dough on a lined cookie sheet.


Bake for 11-13 minutes.


Let cool on a rack and then dig in!
I also found these fun Zombie Cupcakes at World Market
 that I may save for the Season Premiere of WD. Any excuse to celebrate and bake something fun, right?

    I dunno why but my heard starts swinging when I look at Walking Dead Rick Grimes Season 5 Jacket given to Rick Grimes' character. C'mon, why Negan is given a much classier outfit whereas Grimes has been neglected in this regard?

    We know! Color us surprised, because, really, outside a situation, like, say, an apocalypse, where you may not have had access to baked goods for years, who would have believed something made of pureed beets, pureed water chestnuts, and flour laboriously created from acorns picked off the ground would be anything but, well, beet-y? But several of our culinarily adventurous Yahoo colleagues sampled our version of Carol’s cookies, and the majority found them to be a perfectly fine afternoon snack.

    Burgers. Even though they are my favorite out of the list, the world would be a better place. Plus cows are super chill animals

    Zombie enthusiasts here too, despite not loving horror. Walking Dead’s Carol is a surprise with her cookies amidst chaos. Honoring the finale, I tried her apocalypse cookies—ingenious twist with applesauce and chocolate. Speaking of twists, pair your treats with a stylish men’s leather jacket for an edgy vibe. Survival, style, and sweets!

    Wow, these Zombie Apocalypse Cookies look terrifyingly delicious! Carol’s got talent. But imagine her rocking The Fall Guy Ryan Gosling Red Jacket while baking them? It’d be a killer combo of survival and ’80s cool. Keep the recipes coming, Carol!
