I know - I know.  What's a cooking recipe doing on the FAST Man EFI web site?  Well, I come from the Midwest, and my mother used to cook these awesome cookies.  I recently found the recipe and reworked it until I created a cookie that I really like.  I said, "What the heck.  Share it".  If you have other "Racing Recipes" send them to me and I'll add them.
