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!

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.

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!
The Post was very nice. I appreciate your post. Thanks for sharing the information. Keep Sharing.
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!
“Carol’s cookies are a must-try for fans! Perfect for the apocalypse.
