See how many of each planet's features you can include.

• 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 3/4 cup plain or cinnamon graham crackers
• 2 1/2 cups powdered milk

• measuring cups
• a large mixing bowl
• a large spoon
• powdered sugar/cocoa/cake decorations/colored sprinkles
• a rubber spatula (optional)
• food coloring (optional)
• an adult to make sure you don't make too much of a mess (optional)

1. Crush the graham crackers into very small pieces.
   
   
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Use the rubber spatula or your fingers to get all the peanut butter and honey out of the measuring cup.
   Stir until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly mixed-in.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. If you have some food coloring, make your cookies look more realistic by adding a few drops to small portions of batter. For example, you might use red for Mars, yellow for Venus, and blue for Neptune.
   
   
   
4. All planets are round, so getting the shape right is easy. Just use your hands to roll some cookie dough into a ball. Which planet is the biggest? Smallest?
   
   
   
5. Decorate with powdered sugar, cocoa, cake decorations, or colored sprinkles. Remember, try to make your edible worlds look like the real thing. Which planets are rocky? Which have clouds? Which have craters or volcanoes?
   
   
   
   
6. Because there's no baking, you don't have to wait!
   Just line up the planets in order, then serve! Yum!
