Brown Sugar - not a lot, just enough, maybe 1/4 cup

1 apple grated
2 Tablespoons corn oil
1/4 cup molasses

Al’s Alfalfa Cookies
Oven Degrees:325°F
Cooking Time:20 minutes
Ingredients:
4 cups horse oats
1 cup bran
1 cup flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1 stick of butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 carrots, grated
3 large Alfalfa cubes, crushed
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325, and grease a cookie sheet. Mix 2 cups oats and all dry ingredients, including carrots and alfalfa. Crush cubes by putting them in a plastic bag and pounding them with a meat tenderizer. They don't have to be powder, small chunks is fine. Mix in all liquid ingredients. Stir in the rest of the oats. (This was just so they didn't spill all over the place). Put small balls onto the baking sheet and flatten. Cook for 20 minutes, makes about 6 batches.
Microwave Thumbprint Cookies.
Cooking Time:6 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
5 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup corn oil
1 clove garlic
1 cup diced carrots
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in bowl form into small balls which you press down with your thumb or a spoon then place in microwavable pan or sheet and microwave on high for 6 minutes per batch. Note: I mixed it just like it said but it was to dry to hold any type of shape. So I added more oil and a little water. I made the dough and split it in half. In the one I added the carrots, in the other I left the carrots out and added molasses. Both worked but I had to add enough oil and water to make it sticky. The cook time changed because of this. It took a little longer to cook. Watch closely because they will burn quickly. I like this one even though it gave me some problems.

2 cups dry oatmeal

Place dollops (about half a handful) on a cookie sheet and bake at 375º for ten minutes. These have a tendency to burn. They never get completely hard, but they store nicely. You can spread the mixture in a pan and cook it like bars, but only in a greased pan.
