melissatwa's Journal, 18 Aug 19

I made "survival cookies" today for my sixteen year old son who regularly puts in 12 to 14 hour days at a really tough and physical job. He gets so hungry! We made up the recipe together! They are peanut butter, oat, and walnut. My NSV is I didn't eat a lick of the dough! I make them weekly, and I can easily down at least three spoonfuls and wish for more!

Thanks guys! @Jen! Swept up eh? That is a great! Yes, @writing, Baking is part of the job! It is hard to take them in a lunch without form, but man the dough is better!

aww you guys are sweet! Really, Adltosaur, you would want the recipe? I make them because I figured I can provide a lot healthier, lower sugar alternative to a snack/protein bar.

Oh I would *seriously actually* want the recipe! Could you use other nuts instead of walnuts, too?

Here you go @Adltosaur! Cream together: 1c. Butter (softened) 1c Peanut butter 2c Brown sugar (not packed!) I normally use a bit less Add and beat until fluffy: 3 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla Mix separately and then mix in quickly: 2&1/4c flour 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda Add: 1&1/2 c rolled oats 2 c coarsely broken up walnuts (I'm sure any nut would work) I have added chocolate chips sometimes 350 for about 13 minutes. I use large lumps of dough... like rounded tablespoons

@bristle cone, could walk even further with these for fuel? 😄

Ok that recipe looks a mess... It was all lined up neatly before I "submitted" it. Well, even with lacking good form, I suppose it will work.
