OATMEAL - FLAX SEED MEAL COOKIES

Oatmeal - Flax Seed Meal Cookies image

I have always enjoyed a hearty cookie that has a stout texture with more taste. I blended several recipes to come up with this. I have never left a party without one or more requests for this recipe. I am constantly trying new variations, but the original still stands as BEST! These cookies freeze well and of course they are great in a pinch defrosted in the microwave on half power.
