I found this recipe about 10 years ago when my daughter was a baby. I was trying to figure out what to do with all that baby cereal I had left over from when Mackenzie was not so interested in eating her cereal anymore. I had boxes and boxes of Gerber baby cereal coming out of my ears.
Some how I found this recipe for Homemade Baby Teething Cookies online. I don't even know what I was searching for, but I came across it and thought it would be a fun recipe to try. I baked them up and Mackenzie loved them. I thought to myself WOW those were so easy to make.

These cookies quickly became a favorite in our house anytime we had babies around. I haven't made these baby cookies in about 5 years, since my youngest son now attends kindergarten. Well, I began sitting for one of the teachers babies so we have a baby in the house again Ü.
I thought Gracie might like these teething cookies as much as my kids did so i made up a batch today. The verdict.........
This recipe is the perfect recipe to use up all of that baby cereal just stacking up in the cabinet. I know you have some, Gracie say's go make some cookies!!!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Baby Teething Biscuits/Cookies
Ingredients:
2 - tablespoon shortening
1/4 - cup sugar
1 - egg
1 - teaspoon baking powder
1/4 - teaspoon salt
1 - teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - teaspoon water or juice (I used water)
2 - cups dry baby cereal
Directions:
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Cream shortening and sugar.
Add eggs, baking powder, salt, vanilla and water. Gradually stir in baby cereal.
Knead until smooth. Pat into a rectangle.
Cut into 1 inch bars. Smooth edges so they will not be sharp. Or roll dough in a little flour and cut with cookie cutters. (circle and basic shapes are best)
Bake for about 20 min. or until dry. Store in uncovered container overnight.
* Statistics state not to give babies eggs until one year of age, use your own personal judgement. My kids were all one year of age or older and so is the little girl I am watching *

I'm off to make cookies today!!
Also love the Pink cup.
My children and the one I watched all were above the age of one years old, so using and egg in the recipe was fine.
It isn't just egg whites, but the whole egg itself. So egg yolks fall under the same category.
