ok, these are my favorite for long rides. maybe not for fast rides, though...i am making some to start off my tour next week. (Check out http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/RaiSue2006).

Mmmm...cookies. And keep in mind, the recipe came from the Marlboro cookbook, via a friend who got it from her mom.

Way to go Marlboro.

Does oatmeal have gluten? if not, these are also gluten-free.


3 eggs beaten 1 1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. brown sugar packed 4 1/2 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. white sugar 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 t. vanilla 3/4 c. chopped walnuts
2 t. baking soda
1/2 c. softened butter

Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, butter, and peanut
butter. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Drop by heaping
teaspoonful onto a greased baking sheet - flatten slightly.

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Makes a humungous amount--you might want to half the recipe.

Enjoy!
