4 quarts sweet feed
2 cups
bran or bran cereal
2 cups oats (I used Quaker oats from grocery store) *optional
1 can frozen apple juice concentrate
5-6
carrots, chopped (I use my food processor)
3 apples, chopped (optional)
2 cups raisins (optional)
1 jar molasses
1 jar Karo corn syrup
5 eggs
2-3 cups corn oil
2 tablespoons baking powder
Directions
Add flour and water, alternating until you have a cake like batter that
is very chunky.
Spray
muffin tins with an oil and drop by spoonfuls. They will rise a
little, so don't overfill. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15
minutes. Cool
on a paper towel.
Or you may pour batter into a large baking pan (well-greased!) to make cookie bars.
Bake until center is dry and firm (probably 30-60 minutes, depending on your
pan and amount of batter). Let cool overnight
or for several hours.
Cut into squares.
This makes a huge amount (2 grocery bags full), so you may want to
cut the
recipe down by a factor of 2 or 4.

Riding Cookies
Ingredients
4 cups wheat flour
3 cups oatmeal
1 egg
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4
(three quarters) cup applesauce
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 (one half) cup molasses
1 cup hot water
Method
Bake at 300 degrees on a greased cookie sheet.
Mix flour, oatmeal, and brown sugar in VERY
large bowl. Then add egg, oil, applesauce, and molasses. Finally, add hot water
and mix well. I normally remove any jewelry
and just reach in to mix like bread dough. Stirring with a large fork or spoon is too
hard on my arms. Roll out the dough
to one half inch thick on floured surface, and cut out shapes or press into the cookie sheet.
Bake 45 to 60 minutes. Turn
off oven and cut with a pizza cutter into squares and let cool in the oven overnight. My horses
fight over these cookies.
