  • 1 cup butter or marg
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal*
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour (if using whole wheat cut down to 1 1/2 cups)

Directions:

Preheat oven at 375 degrees F. Mix together 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes. Cream (beat well) butter or margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir flaxseed mixture and add with vanilla to the margarine mix. Beat until blended. Whisk together dry ingredients, except oats and chips. Add to butter/margarine mixture. Stir in oats then chips. Scoop or drop onto baking sheet, preferably lined with parchment or silpat. The dough is a little crumbly, so it helps to use a scoop.

Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.
