Horse Cookies



Carrot and Apple Cookies

1 cup sweet feed
2 cup bran
1 cup flax seed
4 large carrots, shredded
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup applesauce

Mix molasses, brown sugar, carrots and applesauce in one bowl.
In another bowl mix the dry ingredients. Slowly combine the molasses
mixture with the dry ingredients. Add only enough molasses mixture to
form a thick dough, add more bran if necessary.

Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Using a tablespoon, drop batter
onto cookie sheet and flatten slightly to form portions about the size of a
silver dollar. Bake at 300 degrees F for about 1 hour. Flip and bake for
an additional 45 minutes until they are dried out. Keep checking to make
sure they don't burn.

mixing with you hands (you're looking for a consistency a little thinner

3 cups bran
1 cup molasses
1 cup water (may vary depending upon altitude)
12-24 1-oz. scoops of powdered electrolytes (depends how strong you want them) Mix all the ingredients together. You should have a consistency a little thinner than play-doh. If it isn`t wet or sticky enough, add a little more water or molasses. Place large spoonfuls on a (greased) cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 30-40 minutes.

Cob Cookies

8 cups dry cob feed (corn,oats,barley mix)
3 cups ground carrots
1/2 cup corn oil
2 cups flour
2 cups molasses (use livestock grade from feed store - it's cheaper!)

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed. Let stand
for at least an hour (so the grain can absorb some of the moisture).
Stir the mixture well. Drop by rounded teaspoonful on to a well oiled cookie sheet. Using your fingers and the teaspoon 'smoosh' the cookie into a round slightly flattened shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on your oven. These will burn easily so be sure not to leave them in too long. Put the cookies on racks to cool then store them in a tight container. Makes between 6-9 dozen.

ingredients in a separate bowl. Gradually combine wet and dry
ingredients together, only using enough of the wet ingredients to make a
thick dough. Add more bran if necessary.

Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with oil. Drop batter onto cookie
sheet in tablespoon amounts. Flatten with a fork. Bake slowly at 300� F.
