How do you make Haitian dirt cookies?
Haitian dirt cookies, also known as haitian mud pies, are a type of cookie that is popular in Haiti. They are made with a mixture of flour, sugar, water, and oil. The dough is then formed into balls and flattened into discs. These discs are then fried in hot oil until they are golden brown.
The finished cookies are then dipped in a mixture of powdered sugar and water. This gives them their characteristic “dirt” appearance. Haitian dirt cookies are typically served at parties and celebrations.

Another theory says that the pie was inspired by a local folklore tale about a pirate ship that sank in the Mississippi River and was later discovered to be full of treasure.
