Directions

1. Preheat oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Prepare 2 large baking sheets either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. I used a hand mixer.In a blender, add flax seed powder and water and blend it until it’s foamy.
2. Add the flax seed mixture and vanilla extract to the creamed butter. Stir it well using a wooden spoon/spatula.In a medium size bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and combine it well using a spatula.Now stir the oats and other optional ingredients you wish to include.Drop the batter by a table spoon 2 inches apart. I used an ice cream scoop.Wet your hands and flatten the cookies so that they are about 1/2 an inch thick.
4. Bake it for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centre is little wet.
5. Remove it from the oven and let it cool in the baking sheet itself for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool it completely.
