This recipe was adapted from one I found. I made it complicated and kind of halved the recipe, so I wouldn't have 20 cookies to eat by myself. Yeah, it's true.
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 1/2 tbsp water
1/4 cup margarine, room temperature
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix the ground flax and water together in a medium bowl and let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the dry ingredients. Mix the flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder and chocolate chips in a small bowl.
In the bowl with the flax and water, add the sugars, margarine and vanilla, and wisk until creamy. Stir in the dry mix until well combined.
Make balls about the size of a rounded tablespoon, place on pan, and squish a little to flatten. Not a lot.
Bake in preheated oven about 7-9 minutes. Let cool on pan for 2 minutes. I can't explain how to tell if a cookie is done, but I like them a certain way. I bake mine for 8 minutes in KY.
SO YUM.
ok, these look scrumptious. And i will try them!! but i continue to have this problem EVERY time i make cookies for the past year now: they are SO FLAT. the edges will get crisp and the middle is gooey and they are just flat and falling apart and crappy. any tips on how to avoid this?? I really really hope that it doesn't happen with your recipe- i will let you know!! thanks for sharing :)
