This
recipe makes a great kid cookie. It's almost confection-like but is
so packed with energy and hearty oats that you won't mind giving your
youngster a few. This cookie is best with a tall glass of milk.
This is a range-top
cookie. Because it is a no-baker and so full of energy, it makes a great
camping cookie.

note: Patty from San Francisco made these and reported
excellent results. She added nuts to the recipe. Another baker, Peggy,
