bird seed cookies

based on an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe from Moosewood.

1 cup cane sugar
1/2 cup butter (microwaved for 1 minute)
1/4 cup veggie oil
2 eggs
(1 teaspoon vanilla extract, I never do tho)
1 cup all purpose or half & half flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cups rolled oats or five grain mix
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins and/or dried cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried dates, small pieces
1/2 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds and/or pinenut seeds

combine all ingredients.
with a tablespoon drop batter on baking sheet
push batter flat to about 1/2 inch thick
bake at 375 degrees for 14 minutes or edge of cookie is crisp
cool for about 10 minutes or until cookies firm up in middle

I would have added a picture except we already ate the latest batch!

These are good emergency cookies as well. Healthy enough as a breakfast and / or lunch replacement when on the road! At least I think so...
