1 tablespoon flax seed meal
2 tablespoons water
100 g butter, softened
⅛ cup light brown sugar
⅛ cup turbinado sugar (can use regular, too)
⅛ teaspoon vanilla bean seeds (or use 1/2 ts extract)
⅝ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon apple pie spice
½ cup M&M's or ½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup oats
½ cup coconut
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup roiboos tea (might need a tad more)

1
First combine flax seed meal and water in a small bowl.
2
Microwave for 30 seconds on high and allow too cool for a few minutes while you cream the butter.
3
In a large bowl cream butter and sugars for 8 minutes (do not skip this, it gives the cookies texture).
4
Add the vanilla and the flax egg.
5
Stir to combine.
6
In a second bowl combine flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda and apple pie spice.
7
Add to the butter mixture and stir to combine.
8
Fold in m&ms or choc chips, raisins, oats and coconut.
9
If your dough is dry, add enough of the roiboos tea to make a thick cookie dough.
10
It should not be sticking to your hands much.
11
Using a large ice-cream scoop place heaps of dough onto a paper-lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
12
Bake at 180C/350 F for 12-15 minutes or lightly browned around the edges.
13
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!

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.
