FLAX SEED HONEY COOKIES

I came up with this recipe when I wanted my 17 month old daughter to start taking flax. They are simple tasting, chewy and fairly easy to make. I flatten them down twice during baking with a spatula; once after 5 minutes of baking and then about a minute before they come out of the oven. DO NOT USE FLAX OIL in this recipe or any baking recipe for that matter as it breaks down into a substance that is not safe for ingestion. Only use flax seeds for baking or flax meal. Prep time doesn't include chill time.

Time 17m

Yield 1-2 dozens

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2/3 cup oil
1/2 cup flax seed (not ground)
3/4 cup maple syrup (I've always used maple syrup and it's so good) or 3/4 cup corn syrup (I've always used maple syrup and it's so good)
2 -3 cups all-purpose flour (added progressively)

Steps:

Mix everything together until you have a nice consistency. Add between 2 and 3 cups of flour. When the dough holds together, it means it's enough flour. Put by teaspoon on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F around 12-14 minutes until they are just a little bit golden. But don't cook them too much.

Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and spread less.
