CCSCW cookies!
Alas! I made a half batch awhile ago, and another half-batch last night. I followed the recipe except I added walnuts and shredded coconut. The coconut keeps them nice and chewy! The walnuts have protein so it makes them seem sort of healthy. The taste of the flax is stronger in some bites than others, maybe I didn't puree them long enough.
Best enjoyed with a cuppa Yogi tea from a Blythe mug:

I made these last week and have just about finished eating them - there's one left and i'm planning to take it to lunch with me. The recipe really does make approximately 3 dozen, so if you don't want that many, you may want to half it. Having said that, who would WANT to half it because they are just about the best cookies i've ever had. Like Mishka said, they're a bit crispy on the outside and oh so soft in the middle. Very yummy.
I also altered it a bit. I added 1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts but the same quantity of chips (1 cup) but i mixed carob chips in with dark chocolate ones. The hazelnuts and carob added a nice touch. Otherwise, the recipe is perfect as is and it really does stay soft over time. Now that the heat wave's over here, i may be baking again soon!

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
I was supposed to go out tonight to hear a friend's boyfriend's band – but it was a bad day at work so I decided instead to stay home and make cookies!
The only modification was to use chocolate soymilk to mix with the flax seed.
I am not organised in life, nor the in kitchen. This is how my counter looks when I start making anything...
Mmm... creamed oil and sugar...

My high school drama teacher used to have us do a relaxation exercise before each class, and she used to tell us to envision ourselves as cookies melting on a cookie sheet. I still use relaxation technique whenever I get around to taking a yoga class. Luckily I don't often crave cookies, or I'd be in trouble!
The cookies are boy approved. And mishka approved! They're a little crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just like a cookie should be.
