Rookie Cookies
low fat dessert

Grease 9x13 pan; line with waxed paper and grease again.
Stir together:
    2 c. flour
    1/2 t. salt
Beat:
    4 eggs
    2 1/2 c. sugar
    4 t. maple flavor
Add flour mixture.  Add:
    1 c. oats
    (2 c. chopped nuts - optional)
    (1 1/2 c. raisins - optional)

Pour into greased pan.  Bake in 350 degree oven 25-30 minutes until center
tests dry.  Remove immediately; peel off wax paper.  Cool, cut into bars,
and store in airtight container. 

Source: Post Dispatch.  According to them, this recipe was printed during
WWI as good to send to new recruits ("rookies"). 

Note: In my opinion, the nuts aren't necessary and the raisins detract. 
If removed before center is quite done, the bars develop a chewy "center"
surrounded by a crunchy crust.  I prefer them this way.
