If ever there was a post that might turn off some readers, I'm sure it's this one. However, these cookies, recommended by my friend K, are REALLY good. Unlike traditional chocolate chip cookies which can be a bit cakey, these are really chewy and flat. They spread quite a bit when baking, so be sure to leave plenty of room between them on the tray when baking. If you're a nursing mom, the flaxseed and brewer's yeast are sure to help your healthy milk supply. If you're simply a lover of cookies, the added nutritional benefits will only make you feel like you can eat more of them because they are "healthy" cookies. ;-)
You need:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup chocolate chips
4 tablespoons brewer's yeast
Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the flaxseed meal and water and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar well. Add eggs and mix well. Add flaxseed mix and vanilla, beat well. Sift together flour, brewers yeast, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mix. Stir in oats and chips. Scoop onto baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes.Let set for a couple minutes then remove from tray.
