Yup, that was my inner Shakira coming out.
So, this is the treat that Sash goes WILD for! She starts doing her bending exercises [where I make her bend her neck as far to her side as it will go for a treat {and to supple her}] by herself, licks and nuzzles my leg, sniffs my pockets, and trots up to the gate in the field for them.
A batch lasts about a week of going to the barn every day and spoiling my horse rotten. <3
Sasha's Cookie
- 1 Cup Dry Oats
- 1 Cup of carrots, chopped finely
- 1 Cup Flour
- 3 teaspoons* of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup✝ molasses
Preheat oven to 350℉, or if your oven is weird and too hot like mine is, 325℉. Add all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mince the carrots so they are in small chunks. Add the molasses and vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until blended. The mix will be chunky and sticky - you should have just enough moisture so that the cookies a medium brown color with bits of oats and carrots. I found that you can actually taste the mix. If you can tolerate it, it is fine. If you find it disgusting, add a little bit of sugar. Put on non-stick cookie sheet. Approximately twelve medium sized balls can be formed. Do not worry if they are a bit crumbly; just pack them as tightly as you can. Put in oven and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies stick together but are still flexible. I often split the cookies into smaller chunks before feeding to my horse to make them last longer.
*Add more if needed to make the mix more moist, or if you want to help produce a healthy shiny coat. Do not add so much that the mix is runny; it should still be sticky.
✝You may need to add the molasses as needed. 1/4 cup often does not blend the mix enough, so if this is the case, add a little dash at a time.
