Oatmeal Yummy Cookies

2 T. Flax meal

¼ cup hot water

¾ cup whole wheat flour

¾ cup all purpose flour

½ tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. sea salt

1½ cup quick oatmeal

2/3 cup brown sugar (can substitute date sugar if desired)

½ cup finely chopped walnuts

½ cup finely chopped sunflower seeds

½ cup butter (can use healthy shortening if desired. Do not use margarine)

2 eggs

Mix Flax meal into hot water and set aside. In a large, separate bowl add whole wheat flour, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, walnuts and sunflower seeds. Microwave or heat butter until it is slightly liquid. Set your butter aside and let cool. Mix dry ingredients well. Crack your eggs into a separate bowl and beat well with a small fork. Add butter to dry ingredients and mix. Add flax meal and water mixture. Add eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are mixed in. Let dough rest for fifteen minutes. Spray your cookie sheets lightly with cooking spray. Drop balls of dough onto cooking sheets. Your dough will spread so don’t get them too close together. Bake in 350 degrees oven for fifteen minutes. Remove from oven, and let them cool for two minutes. Place cookies on cooling racks.
