How to Make Flax Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If using whole flaxseeds, grind them into a meal using a coffee grinder until granular and free-flowing.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups rolled oats, ½ cup flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  8. Use a cookie scoop (approximately 1 inch) to portion the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
