Parshas Korach

In Parshas Korach we learn that Korach, Dasan and Aviram, start a rebellion against Moshe.  The ground splits open and swallows Dasan and Aviram.  Korach is by the entrance to the Mishkan.  Afire consumes him and he is pulled into this hole in the ground.  

These are Earth Quake cookies.  

they are chocolate cookies, rolled in icing sugar, and when baked, expand and give the earth quake look.

A few weeks ago, my sister sent me this picture...

A peak into her oven.  Straight away I thought of Parshas Korach- I mean seriously? How brilliant? Earthquake cookies? 

So I set to the kitchen... and baked... and baked... and none of my recipes looked as perfect as my sisters cookies!

I mean they were yum and all... but I mean really? look at them...a little nebbech right?

SO..... I admitted to defeat... Got my sisters recipe... and pictures... and here they are!
