Description:
This wholesome recipe comes straight from the kitchens of the Red Square Bakery, known for their delightful treats. These Flax Oatmeal Raisin Cookies aren’t just delicious—they’re packed with health benefits! The star ingredient, flax, can be easily found at most natural foods stores. Remember to grind it fresh to preserve its goodness. Be careful not to grind it too finely; a little roughage is good, and we want to avoid overheating those precious flax seed oils.
