Baltz - I hope you plan on sharing. Raisen, Oatmeal Spice are the best!

[chummer]

Good Idea! I think this is a good time for Jennie to repeat the boiled chocolate cookie recipe.

Baltz, is that a recipe you're willing to share?

[baltz526]

i'm sitting here slightly crosseyed from cookie overdose. i did get 3 1/2 dozen stashed in two packages. one dozen for deer, 2 1/2 dozen or elk.

I did a batch of Oatmeal Raison with extra vanilla and cinnamon as a proto-type last weekend. I think that they were successful because they are gone

[Zbynek]

Oatmeal, bittersweet chocolate, roasted pecans, and dried-tart cherries. Those are the cookies I'll be making. (And no one in my family likes oatmeal cookies, so they are all mine.)

[blacktail hunter]

they all sound good

Wife made some snickerdoodles last night for our trip this weekend

My orders in to my mother she still makes the best peanut butter cookies in the world.

This is amazing...I thought I was the only person with a hunting cookie habit.

Start with an oatmeal recipe (Joy of Cooking), and add everything. Semi-sweet chips, raisins or dates, walnuts or sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (or all three), peanut butter, vanilla, cinnamon. I've used these as a protein substitute by adding roasted soy beans, on the years when I go all out and refrain from meat during hunting season. Been thinking its time to get going on this project.

I havent done the Cookie thing yet but you can never go wrong with rice crispie treats.. Great with that morning cup of coffee..

[Headhunter]

Cookies only come in chocolate chip or Oreo flavor....the rest are just vegetables in disguise

Man I miss the ones my grandma used to make for Paulina deer camp. Chocolate Chip with walnuts. She would make huge batches and keep them in big metal tins with a slice of apple in them to keep them soft. Almost brings a tear to my eye, lots of good memories of camp and family/grandparents. Grandma is still with us but at 98 her cookie days are gone. Deer camp lasted one year after grandpa passed, they had been married 74 years and she couldn't find the heart to go without him, neither could I.
Great story about her... Stater drove into camp and to make a story short inferred that grandma, all 125 lbs of her, was just there to hold an extra tag for others to fill, She told him in her retired middle school teacher voice to go stand out about 150 yards and she would let him decide how effective she was with her remington pump .270, He swallowed his pride and left. She was good for a buck about every other year and I never felt more connected to family then hearing her shoot and hotfooting it over to her stand to dress and pack out her deer.

Somebody needs to tell my husband that boys can bake cookies, too!!

I've been making cookies for deer camp as long as I can remember. Peanut butter are my specialty, but chocolate with peanut butter chips are my favorite. So I usually do both. Then, of course, I always make a big batch of peanut clusters. Too bad I have to miss deer camp this year!! I guess I can still make cookies to eat....

[MossyOarReelCreek]

Great idea Baltz! I only make one cookie. My Grandma's Mollasses Sugar Cookies. Old school recipe....lots of Crisco and sugar

[Shutup N Fish]

Mine (oatmeal) are in the freezer. I highly recommend the receipe from Snoqualamie Falls oatmeal. The best I have ever eaten.

I can't afford the weight of flour products

[duckcall]

Chocolate chips. My hunting partner and I count the cookies and divide by 2. You can eat them all at one sitting or dole them out each day to make them last. But, oh don't get into your partners!

[baltz526]

if you can eat all your cookies in one setting, you make them wrong! they sure are not 1/4lbers
