So much omega3 fatty acids in these yummy made-from-scratch flaxseed raisin cookies. More nutritional value and so delicious!
1 cup flax meal
1 cup butter/margarine
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups rolled oats
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups raisins (simmered)
1 cup slivered almonds
½ cup flaked coconut
Preheat oven to 325º F. Grease cookie sheet. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon and gradually stir into creamed mixture. (Drain raisins, reserving liquid) Fold in flax meal, oats, raisins, almonds and coconut. (If mixture seems a bit dry, add a little milk or the liquid from the raisins.) Drop rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Bake 12-15 min. Cool completely on wire racks. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
