[from the January 2001 newsletter] Some people think the recipes for rink house cookies and the potato soup are a secret. They're not.

1. Canadian Living Magazine's "Best Oatmeal Cookie Mix":
(Donna Bartolini, who used to work for the magazine, brought this recipe to the park, four years ago. It's enough for four batches of oatmeal cookies).
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking soda
4 ½ cups quick-cooking oats 1 tablespoon baking powder
4 cups firmly packed brown sugar 2 teaspoons salt.
Mix these things and store in an air-tight container for up to two months. To make one batch of cookies, take:
½ cup softened butter 4 teaspoons water
3 ¼ cookie mix 1 teaspoon real vanilla
1 beaten egg 1 cup chocolate chips
In a large bowl, beat butter into cookie mix until blended. Stir in water, egg, and vanilla. Form dough into balls and squash onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes or until golden. Makes about two dozen large cookies.
