I LOVE THESE COOKIES! I was a bit skeptical... considering I never like cookies unless they are riddled with chocolate, but these really were great! I ground the flax, and used whole wheat flour. Added a few sliced almonds as well as a bit of almond extract. I only made 1/3 of the recipe this time, thinking 108 cookies would be too many. That was definetly a mistake and next time I will make much more to freeze. Thanks Leslie!!

I made only 1/3 of the recipe (36 cookies) because 108 cookies is just a few too many for only BF and me! These are really tasty- they're crisp and have lots of flax flavor, which gives them an almost cracker-like feel. Like Steve_G said- a nice nutty flavor. I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose, substitued Sucanat for the white sugar and used golden flax seeds. I made 2 rolls and have 2 more in the freezer for future use. Thanks for a tasty recipe!
