oven baked flax sheet cookie

[book]

microwave flax cookies are too dry and hard for me. I experimented and came up with an oven version.


Grind 1 cup seed, I used golden

Cream 1/2 stick (4oz) of softened butter with the flax

Add 1 tsp each vanilla and cinnamon, and 2 tsp Stevia

(if you use Splenda you will have to estimate...)

I added about 4 tablespoons of sunflower seeds after beating

After you cream this all together it will be thick, you may have to fight it off the beaters. Add a little water to make it spreadable, I needed less than 1/8 cup.

Lightly oil the bottom of a cookie sheet, spread the mixture to cover a large part of the surface, about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the edges start browning.

After baking let cool and break into cookie portions. I suggest you divide this up into baggies and portion it out, I could have eaten the entire thing!

The microwave flax cookies (and wafers) soften up if you put them in a loosely sealed plastic bag or container.

Also, most health food stores have flax seeds. You can get them as a meal or grind them yourself.

Well there is a blast from the past.. OP is me four years ago. I could not remember my signin or password, and my email server had changed from Cox to Suddenlink so I could not use my old cox.net email to access the old account.

And when I first signed back in what.. late July? I couldn't remember my old nick either, so just started over. Funny... I was a size 24 back starting then? I didn't get over a size 20 this time at similar weights. I have been swimming fairly consistently at the aquatic center, so I guess that is why.

I might just go bake a flax cookie too, for old times sake!
