Cow Cookie Recipe!
By Chris Ricard & Debbie Davis

Some years ago Deb Davis in CO gave me the following recipe for Cow Cookies.
I now make them to have on hand for people to feed the cows when the come to visit….

12 cups sweet feed, COB, or other grain mix
2 cups bran (oat, wheat or both)
1 Tblsp salt
4-5 cups molasses (5 if using a plain grain mix)
2 cups hot water
1-2 cups dried apples and/or carrots, chopped fine

Mix all ingredients, refrigerate one hour.
Using a tablespoon, scoop cookies onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 275 for 45 minutes, turn cookies and bake an additional 45 minutes.
Keep in a cool dry place or can be frozen.

I have found the Bran Flakes cereal works the best rather than the bran.
Baking them on Parchment Paper on the cookie sheet keeps them from sticking.
