I think someone else posted this recipe today, but these cookies are amazing. I made them last night and have been eating them nonstop. I made them dairy free and half chocolate chip, half raisin.

Even though I have an abundant supply, I think I am going to try some of these recipes so that I can build up my freezer supply before Brady starts daycare on August 17th.

I made these too but, I am wondering if they don't have enough of the yeast and flax when comparing them to badw0lf bar recipe. I totally forgot that flax seed meal is a good egg substitute. Next time, I need to cut out the eggs. I substituted the following: 1/2 amount of butter for 4 oz of applesauce and coconut sugar 1 for 1 for the regular sugar.

Where have you ladies been able to find brewers yeast? I have looked at it at a couple different places but haven't been able to find it. (Sorry I don't have a recipe to post, I'm actually picking up some lactation cookies from a local at home baker tomorrow. I am Excited because she is an amazing baker)

I found it at Whole Foods.

I found Brewers yeast at whole foods too. It's in the vitamin supplement area not, the baking section of the store.

I got mine at another whole foods type store (earth fare). I also saw some on amazon

I've used this recipe twice now. Makes pretty good cookies, but they dry out pretty fast....

crispywheats lilyelayne and osumegs thanks! It will probably be easier to order from Amazon, don't know why I didn't think of that before

Cractation Bars

*Note: This is the full recipe - I made half the recipe and got almost a full cookie sheet of bars

1 Cup Butter
1 1/2 Cups Light Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 TB Molasses
Vanilla - I used this fancy Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract and I'm heavy handed
2 1/3 Cups Quick Oats
1/4 Cup Brewers Yeast
1/4 Cup Ground Flaxseed
1 Cup AP Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Salt
2 Cups Chocolate (or Butterscotch or Peanut Butter) Chips

1. Brown butter on stove top. *I just melted it and in retrospect I should have let it cool off more as it melted my chocolate right away but it still tasted good.
2. Cream butter with sugar.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
4. Add molasses and vanilla
5. In a separate bowl combine oats, flax, yeast, flour, soda and salt.
6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet.
7. Stir in chips
8. Spread in a butter cookie sheet (or any 13x9 pan)
9. Bake at 350* for 28-32 mins
10. Let cool and cut into bars!

*I also added about 1 cup toasted coconut flakes.

I noticed with the cookies I made, they dried out pretty fast. I even put them in a Tupperware container. How was the "keep" on these bars?

Yea I made them on Friday and they dried out pretty bad by Monday. I mean the 4 that were left.... Haha.

Dang. I wonder why they dry out so damn fast?!? I think it's got to be the oats. I just finished making a batch of cookies & significantly upped the flax seed & Brewers yeast. Didn't notice a change in taste. I'm going to give the bars a go later today.

I'm thinking it may be the oats and the yeast. I think the yeast and flax could def be upped in my recipe without altering the taste. Also maybe I should have store them in the fridge instead of in Tupperware on the counter.

So I made the "booby bars." I did your recipe to the tee. Dumped some coconut in the mix. Then sprinkled it on top. Amazeballs. Better than the cookies I make. It's almost like a 7 layer bar. I'm gonna have to wait until AM to bag them. They are still warm, gooey, and fall aparty......
