Anita’s AT Power Cookies
 
 
NOTE: If you do freeze them, package them individually because they don't separate well. The original recipe was called Baker's Breakfast Cookie (the recipe is online), but Anita (Trail Angel name, "A") altered the recipe somewhat. http://www.cdkitchen.com /recipes/recs/32/Bakers _Breakfast_Cookie41962.shtml

Blend in oats. 
Make a well in the center and pour in the canola oil, prune puree, water, egg whites and vanilla.
