RECIPES

Old standby recipe when we arrived here in 1967.

COWBOY COOKIES

1 1/2 cup white flour

1/4 cup wheat flour or white flour

1/4 cup dry milk powder

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 each ground ginger and salt

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs whites

3 tblsp molasses

2 tbsp honey

1 apple peeled, cored and diced

1 cup old fashion oats

1/4 cup Craisins

Preheat oven to 305°

Oil baking sheets.

Combine first 8 ingredients.

In a bowl whisk together oil, egg whites, molasses and honey.

Stir into flour mixture. Stir in rest of ingredients. Drop onto baking sheet and flatten with spoon. Bake 7 to 9 minutes..

This is a cholesterol free cookie…I used this recipe when we did not have fresh milk. The rest of the ingredients were gathered on trips to Anchorage. Sometimes the apple were dehydrated apples, chopped.

These cookies keep nicely if you hide them!
