Make Carol’s Cookies from The Walking Dead! #CarolsCookies
You might not know this, but I have to tell you that my family and I are HUGE fans of The Walking Dead.
If you're also a fan, I PROMISE I won't write any spoilers in this post. The only thing you need to know is that in last week's episode (episode 513) Carol made some cookies and they were very popular, especially with one little boy.
Continue below to find out how you can make your own batch of Carol's Cookies!
In a world facing the zombie apocalyse, you can pretty much assume that the ingredients for delicious cookies would be scarce. Somehow, the character Carol was able to create an absolutely delicious basic cookie recipe using only what she had on hand.
She didn't have eggs so she used applesauce as a binding agent. I know I've used this as a substitute for eggs before in quite a few cookie recipes and it works splendidly.
Judging from the recipe she also did her best to conserve the ingredients she has on hand – she uses only about 1/4 of a cup or 1/4 tsp for much of the recipe.
Part of her secret to these yummy cookies was to add 1/4 of a large chocolate bar. The recipe doesn't specify exactly what kind of chocolate bar she used so I opted for using a plain milk chocolate – I would assume this might be the easiest kind to find during a zombie apocalypse.
She only uses 1/4 of the chocolate bar so the cookies don't really come out “chocolatey” but it certainly adds some flavour, considering she seemed to be without some spices to add to the dough.
If you'd like, I think Carol wouldn't mind if you added a pinch of cinnamon or ginger to the recipe just to add a bit more flavour. I think she would have if she had it available. 🙂
These were moist and chewy and were quite good considering how basic the ingredients are!
We enjoyed these cookies – but my son especially enjoyed them so I think Carol would be very pleased with that! 🙂
I encourage you to try these out for yourself! Check out the recipe below!
NOTE: I was NOT compensated for this post. I created this post as a tribute to one of my favourite shows. The recipe was created by AMC and I have just made these cookies according to their recipe.
Are you a fan of The Walking Dead and would you try Carol's cookies?
I love to hear from my readers so please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below! 🙂
Pretty sure she said she used beets for the sweetness, where are the beets??
Hi Linda!
You’re right, in the most recent episode this season she definitely used beets for sweetness. 🙂
The recipe in this post is from the first time she made cookies back in season 5. I have yet to figure out her exact recipe for the beet cookies but I’ll definitely do a post about it when I do! 😀 I can barely stand it waiting for the next episode, how about you?
Thanks so much for checking out the recipe and I hope to make Carol’s most recent cookies soon!

Found your post on Pinterest while looking for something to make for a bake sale this weekend. Decidex this was it. Going to package them as Carol’s cookies. Can’t wait to see the comments I get.Love the show, Carol is my new fav this year!
That’s awesome!
Carol’s character has developed so much since the first season of the show. I’d hang out with her any day! lol
I’m having a hard time accepting that I’m going to have to wait so long until the next season! I’m having some Walking Dead withdrawal..haha
Good luck with the bake sale! Sounds like fun. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Michelle
I loooove this! I found it on Pinterest and I had to come over and comment. We’re huge walking dead fans too — have to make these for the premiere in the fall!
Thanks so much for stopping by Colleen!
I’m having a hard time coming to terms with the wait until the next season starts!!
I’m also trying to figure out the recipe for Carol’s casserole – it would be so fun to make that too!
Michelle
I love that you made these! I wanted to make them too, LOL! All of a sudden, Carol is the darkest character on the show!
Mmmmm, that sure looks tasty. I look forward to trying these. Thank you for sharing.
i was laughing so hard as soon as I saw the title for this post. I cannot believe the things Carol said to the little boy asking for cookies, I forget his name. I definitely want some of Carol’s cookies if it means turning into an awesome badass. Lol.
Ooooh! Adding ginger to the recipe sounds like a wonderful idea! I don’t watch the Walking Dead, but these cookies sound quite good!
My son and I only watched the Walking Dead marathon once and that was it. Would love to watch it again though. The hubs doesn’t like zombies so he’s not interested to watch. But I’ll bet he’ll be interested in those cookies. 🙂
I don’t watch The Walking Dead but I will definitely try these cookies. I really need to start watching!
this makes me want to give this one a try – looks really yummy! and sooo good too!
This looks amazing! Carol’s cookies is so funny!
I don’t watch this show but have friends who do. They’d love this I bet!
so trying these tonight when we watch Walking Dead tonight….thanks for sharing.
This is pretty awesome! I honestly don’t watch the walking dead, lol but I would try these cookies, they look really good.
I haven’t seen it. I’m pretty sure it’s the show my oldest son and his wife talk about though…they watch faithfully. 🙂
I am totally behind on this show… Carol’s baking cookies now? lol, I just can’t wrap my brain around baking during a time like that. But no matter! Cookies are meant to be made and this recipe looks too yummy to pass up!
Thanks so much!
Once you catch up you’ll see! It’s a very good episode! 😀
Michelle
I don’t watch the Walking Dead but a lot of my friends do. This sounds like a great recipe. I have never used applesauce in a cooking recipe. That is a great idea and I am going to try it.
Love that cookies can be made even during the zombie apocalypse. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t watch the show but if someone gave me these cookies I;d eat them. I like using applesauce in baking as well.
I saw this shared on my facebook newsfeed! Looks amazing 🙂
Thanks so much Carmy! 😀
Yum these sound good. My hubby is a HUGE WALKING DEAD fan so I’m sure he would get a kick out of these if I made them!
How fun – My hubby is a fan of the ‘Walking Dead’ and I loved this recipe! Saved it and will give it a try really soon – thank you 🙂
I just watched that episode 🙂
She’ll be making lots of cookies 🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe!.
Waaah!! I don’t like the movie of walking dead urghh if I’m alone to watch it huhuh so horrible, But you know what I like? your cookie haha I love it.
I like how it used very little chocolate. Works for us trying to watch our weight…
This is so cool, I’ll have to try it. I love when we blur the lines between reality and fiction.
This is a great idea for those super fans of the WAlking Dead show. I have never watched that show for some reason.
I would love to try those cookies. What a great idea to replace eggs with applesauce. I loved that episode of Walking Dead
I am a huge Walking Dead fan, but I’m waiting this season until its over to watch it all at once!1 I’ll have to make these cookies for our binge day!! Thanks for sharing (and not spoiling!)
I am also a fan of the walking dead and cookies. Carols cookies sound amazing. I’ve never heard of using applesauce instead of eggs but now I know.
I cannot being to tell you how right this is on so many levels! I’m a huge Walking Dead fan, and you’ve just given me a real world take on the show. Yay!
