1.1     ! root        1: [Someone sent this in from California, and we decided to extend
        !             2: our campaign against information hoarding to recipes as well
        !             3: as software.  (Recipes are the closest thing, not involving computers,
        !             4: to software.)
        !             5: 
        !             6: The story appears to be a myth, according to the Chicago Tribune,
        !             7: which says that Mrs Fields Cookies hoards the information completely.
        !             8: Therefore, this recipe can be thought of as a compatible replacement.
        !             9: We have reports that the cookies it makes are pretty good.]

        !            12: and requested the recipe for her cookies. They asked
        !            13: her for her charge card number, and she gave it to them
        !            14: thinking the cost would be $15 to $25.  It turned out
        !            15: to be $200!
        !            16: 
        !            17: Therefore, this person is giving the recipe to anyone 
        !            18: and everyone she knows (and doesn't know) so that 
        !            19: someone can get use of her $200.  Anyway, just keep

        !            32:  amounts of oatmeal in blender until it turns to
        !            33:  powder.  Measure out 5 cups of oatmeal and only
        !            34:  "powderize" that, NOT 5 cups "powderized" oatmeal)

        !            54: Hi! I "stole" your very expensive cookie recipe off the net. If you
        !            55: want to send me your SnailMail address, I'll be glad to send you a
        !            56: dollar (I would like to suggest this to the net, but I think there is
        !            57: some netiquette rule against asking for money - or is that only money
        !            58: for oneself?) to help defray the cost (it's not much, but if EVERYone
        !            59: who took the recipe sent you a dollar, it would help). 
        !            60: 
        !            61: Here also is another cookie recipe which I'm very fond of. 
        !            62: 
        !            63: Makes 6-8 dozen
        !            64: Bake at 375 degrees for ~10 min.
        !            65: 
        !            66: Cream together: 
        !            67: 
        !            68: 1 cup shortening (I use Weight Watcher's Reduced Calorie Margarine!)
        !            69: 1/4 cup peanut butter (I recommend the non-sugared kind)
        !            70: 1/2 cup sugar
        !            71: 1/2 cup brown sugar
        !            72: 2 eggs

        !            79: 1/2 teaspoon salt
        !            80: 2 cups rolled oats (I use the 5-min variety)
        !            81: 1-2 cups chocolate chips (I use 2 cups semi-sweet - ummmm!)
        !            82: 1 cup nuts (I use pecan pieces - don't get them crushed, or the extra
        !            83:            oil will make greasy cookies)
        !            84: 1 cup shredded or flaked coconut
        !            85: 
        !            86: (The nuts were listed as optional and I added the coconut myself, but
        !            87: I really love them there! You could also add things like m&m's, or
        !            88: raisons (I don't care for raisons in cookies, but you might). I've
        !            89: always wanted to try banana chips.)
        !            90: 
        !            91: Mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet (I use pam).
        !            92: Bake at 375 degrees for approx. 10 min.
        !            93: 
        !            94: My aunt found this recipe in an Amish book called something like
        !            95: "Eating Well When The Whole World Is Starving," and although I thought
        !            96: a cookie recipe was a bit odd for a book like that, they are about the
        !            97: healthiest a cookie is ever likely to get.
        !            98: 
        !            99: They are also very easy to make (no blending, sifting, rolling, etc.)
        !           100: and extrememly delicious. I get rave reviews and recipe requests whenever
        !           101: I make them.
