These were very yummy! We skipped the flax and added 1 cup of whole wheat flour instead, they stuck together just fine this way (also used regular peanut butter). -
Very, very crumbly and didn't hold together well. Tasted good, though, next time I might try it with all WW flour and see how that goes. -
These were delicious! Although I have to admit I used regular brown sugar and regular peanut butter as that was all I had on hand. So they weren't al light as the recipe intended but they were still wholesome compared to regular cookie recipes. I also added in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and halved the recipe. It made exactly 2 dozen cookies. Great!!
