Steps:
- 1.In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
- 2.In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
- 3.Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
- 4.COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
- 5.Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
- 6.Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.

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.

- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cookies spread evenly and bake more consistently.
- Cream your butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the mixture and make your cookies tender.
- Add your eggs one at a time: This will prevent the batter from curdling.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help your cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake your cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake your cookies: Overbaking will make your cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let your cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them: This will help the frosting set properly.
