Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Butter, Softened; 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed; 1/2 cups Sugar; 2 whole Eggs; 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract; 1-3/4 cup Flour (white Whole Wheat If You Have It); 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon (scant) Sea Salt; 3 cups Oats; 1/2 cups Slightly Ground Flaxseeds; 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in oats and flaxseeds. (I use a cleaned coffee grinder to slightly grind the flaxseeds.) Mix in chocolate chips.
4
Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven. To maintain a chewy consistency, when pulling them out of the oven, the cookies should look slightly undercooked with a slight ring of light brown at the base. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool
5
completely.
6
Note: Another variation on this is to replace the chocolate chips with orange-infused dried cranberries.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
