Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 375º. Mix flaxseed with water in a small bowl (with a tiny whisk if you have one). Mix in 1 tsp vanilla. Let sit to thicken slightly.
Cream oil and sugars in mixer. Add flax/vanilla mixture and beat well. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and oats and mix to combine. If using: add chocolate chips and nuts and mix briefly to combine.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheet (a small cookie scoop makes this fast and easy, and produces even cookie size.)
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Cookies will flatten out and puff up a bit. Remove and cool in pan for 1-2 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely. |

The main substitution is a small amount of olive oil for the half cup of butter, 'flax egg' substitution, and omitting the salt.

As pictured in the front: included the 2 Tbsp of soy milk (cookies flatter, moister, chewier)
