Survival Cookies

Ingredients

1 c. margarine
1 c. oil
2 t. vanilla
1/2 c. corn syrup
4 eggs
3 c. sugar
1 t. salt
1 c. powdered milk
3 t. baking soda
4 c. flour
1 c. wheat germ
8 c. quick oats
2 c. mix of any of the following (chocolate chips, raisins,
mincemeat, pecans, chopped dates, etc.)
Optional: 1-3 t. spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc.)

Instructions

Use a large bowl. Blend wet ingredients & sugar. Add salt, milk, soda, flour and mix well. Add wheat germ and oats and blend. Add the chips, raisins, etc. and mix. Cover and let sit overnight in refrigerator. Roll into 2 inch balls and bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10-15 minutes (until lightly brown) at 350#161# F. Remove cookies from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for 3 minutes to firm up - otherwise they are too soft to get off the pan. Cool on rack. Small cookies are crisp, larger cookies are chewy. Cookies may be frozen and heated in microwave when ready to eat (they become soft and chewy) These cookies were developed by my grandparents to take with them on a trip around the world.
