A nutritious cookie that actually tastes good. Does that really exist? It always seems like stuff that is good for you is somewhat lacking in the taste department. Not so with these popular Farmland Flax Cookies. I baked up a batch as an afternoon snack and they were met with enthusiasm by my hungry first grader, energetic toddler and occassional taste tester father.
Yum, yum! They really are quite good. If you like oatmeal cookies you will appreciate this recipe. The flax just gives the cookies a bit more texture and a nuttier flavour.
Farmland Flax Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2/3 cup flaxseeds
- 1 tsp baking soda
Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside. In bowl, beat together butter and brown and granulated sugars until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, flaxseeds and baking soda; stir into butter mixture to make soft dough. Drop by level tablespoonfuls (15 mL), 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on prepared baking sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 350°F (180°C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool on pans on racks for 2 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool.Makes about 40 cookies.
