In a large bowl, mix carrots, apple, corn oil and molasses together.

Spread dough in one big piece on the cookie sheet.

Score dough with a knife to make it easier to break apart after baking (or use cookie cutters to make shapes!)Bake 20 minutes.
Let cool, break apart and serve!


Horse cookies

Horse Cookies

1 3/4 c. oatmeal
1 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
2/3 c. dark brown sugar, packed
3 T. dark corn syrup
egg white from 1 large egg (well beaten)

Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine the oatmeal and flour in a bowl and mix thoroughly. In a second, larger bowl, combine applesauce, brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir in egg white and then the dry mixture. Combine well. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until dark brown. Remove to a wire rack and cool. Yield about 25 cookies.

Horse cookies

8 cups oatmeal
3 cups ground carrots
1/2 cup corn oil
2 cups flour
2 cups molasses

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed. Let stand for at least half an hour (so the oatmeal 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° F for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on your oven. These will burn easily so be sure not to leave them in too long. I bake mine in a convection oven for 12 minutes and that's about perfect but you'll probably need to leave them in longer if you have a conventional oven. Put the cookies on racks to cool then store them in a tight container. This recipe makes between 6-9 dozen cookies depending on how big you want to make them!
