I've branched out beyond the trusted chocolate chip cookies we are all so fond of. In search of a healthy snack for the whole family to enjoy and everybody loved them including the cookie monster (aka PaPa)
Try them for yourselve and remeber the possiblities are endless you can and any little sweet great to them...
Farmland Flax Cookies - A popular cookie that everyone loves.
Butter 1 1/3 cups
Granulated sugar 1 1/4 cups
Brown sugar 1 1/2 cups
Flax seed- 1 1/2 cups
Large eggs 3
Vanilla 1 1/2 tsp
All-purpose flour 3 1/2 cups (try a mix of whole wheat flour/all purpose)
Baking soda 1 tbsp
Oatmeal 3 cups
In a bowl, cream butter and sugars; add flax seed. In another bowl, beat eggs and vanilla together. Combine with flax mixture. Sift together the flour and soda. Mix in oatmeal and combine with other ingredients. Form dough into 4 cm (1 1/2 inch) round logs. Place in freezer and chill. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice into .5 cm (1/4 inch) medallions. Place on baking sheet leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) between cookies.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from sheet and cool Yield: 108 cookies (5 cm/2 inches) I'd toss in some raisins and dates, some cinnamon and a dash of ginger too! I bet 1/2 of a mashed banana or even 1/2 cup of diced apples would be lovely in this recipe too!
