1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
4 tablespoons water
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

1
Preheat oven to 350 F and put parchment paper down on a large cookie sheet.
2
Combine 2 TB flax seed meal with 4 TB water in a small bowl. Set aside.
3
Place butter and sugar in large bowl. Use hand mixer to cream until light and fluffy. Add flax/water mixture (will be very gelatinous) and mix well. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well. Lastly, add vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
4

7
Scoop dough onto cookie sheet with space between the cookies.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until desired brownness is achieved.
