Cookies, that are good for you? Well, I was convincing myself of that until Brent pointed out that they are still full of butter and sugar. However, they are better for you than most, and still taste awesome. Now I also learned when I brought these in to work that it's best not to tell people a cookie is healthy-ish, because cookies and healthy just don't go hand in hand, and it creates skepticism before people have tried the cookies. Verdict all around though, was that these cookies are pretty darn good.
Flax Cookies (do I even need to say they're from Canadian Living??)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2/3 cup flaxseeds
- 1 tsp baking soda
Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper or greasing and set aside.
In bowl or stand mixer, 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, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 350 F 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.
