Solar Vegan Rooty Tutti Fruity Cookies

At the recent Doof-a-Palooza event held at Google's headquarters, we got out the Solar cookers from  the Solar Oven Society  http://www.SolarOvens.org and whipped up some wonderful vegan oatmeal cookies (thanks to the complete assistance from  the chefs at Google), and baked them in the sun for all the kids to learn about and enjoy.

We've been getting so many requests for the recipe, that we decided to post it on the blog, so here you go! (PS you don't need a solar oven to bake these delicious cookies, but it sure does taste better we think!).

Put in the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, until they no longer look raw, even in the middles. Remove from cookie sheet soon after removing from oven -- don't let them cool on the sheet or they'll stick. Repeat steps 7-9 til all gone. Lick the bowl.
