Description
Direct from Canadian Living’s, ‘The Complete Canadian Living Baking Book’, these are lovely and even though they’re ‘healthier’ than regular cookies, the girls still go wild over them.
Ingredients
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. packed brown sugar AND 2/3 c. sugar
2 eggs AND 1 t. vanilla
1 c. EACH flour AND whole wheat (or spelt) flour
1 1/2 c. oatmeal AND 1 1/3 c. flax seeds
2 t. baking soda
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl (or your electric mixer), beat together the butter and sugars for a few minutes until the mixture is fluffy and lighter in color, then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Whisk together the 5 remaining dry ingredients and then add them to the mix, stirring until well combined – the dough will be soft.
Drop in rounded tablespoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) onto your baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, making sure to check them – the edges will brown up quickly! – enjoy!
