* Ingredients / Recipe *
	a few	many
vegetable oil	3/4 cup	1 quart
brown sugar	1 1/2 cup	4 pounds
water	1/3 cup	2 cups
vanilla	1 tsp	6 tsps
(mix well in a bowl; add)
rolled oats	3 cups	18 cups
white flour	1 cup	6 cups
salt	1 tsp	6 tsps
baking soda	1/2 tsp	3 tsps

Mix well. Place on greased baking pan in lumps about 1 inch across, about 3 inches apart. Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes. (Done when they begin to brown at the edges.)
Some notes on cooking: The smaller quantity of ingredients above produces about 50 cookies, and the larger one about 300, depending of course on how big you make the cookies. To grease the pan, try a mixture of corn oil and liquid soy lecithin. When making larger quantities, you may notice that the liquids drain to the bottom of the bowl or pot holding the batter. This makes the cookies "runny" when the batter comes from the bottom -- they're thin and tasty, but they tend to break easily and they're hard to get off the pan. This problem can be counteracted by sprinkling a little additional oatmeal on the batter and mixing it in.
