Abstract An extruder and continuous mixing apparatus operating to continuously mix, at least partially bake and extrude a preselected formulation of ingredients to provide an at least partially baked output product which, upon final baking, exhibits a cookie-like crumb structure with structural integrity. The extruder includes at least one screw-type element which is rotatably arranged in the extruder to vigorously mix and convey at least certain ingredients of the preselected formulation, including flour and oil, input through a feed port means at the upstream end of the extruder, wherein the total water content, by weight, of the ingredients is less than a preselected amount. A temperature control means operates to heat treat the ingredients during the vigorous mixing and conveyance by the screw-type element. The vigorous mixing and heat treatment is applied to the ingredients for substantially the entire length of the extruder. A continuous mixing apparatus is coupled to an output of the extruder to receive the heat treated ingredients at an upstream inlet. A source of water is coupled to the upstream inlet of the continuous mixing apparatus to add a preselected amount of water to the heat treated ingredients to increase the water content and modify the consistency of the ingredients after heat treatment and vigorous mixing and conveying. The continuous mixing apparatus is arranged for a gentle mixing and conveyance of the heat treated ingredients and added water.
