These whole wheat flax seed cookies were a strong favourite with my toddler for a few months when all she would eat during snack time was cookies. I adapted it from an old favourite and added flax seed powder to make it healthier and add a bit of fibre.

A few reasons I love these cookies:

  • They are versatile and no-fail
  • You can bake them with plain flour or a mix of whole wheat flour and i flour. I used 100% whole wheat flour or atta this time
  • The nuttiness of the whole wheat flour and the butter really complement each other well
  • The flax seed powder I added to this batch is just one of the many ways you can customise them
  • They are easy to make in a single bowl
  • You can go from ingredients to cookies in 40 minutes flat
  • My toddler seems to love them too!

Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Course Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp almond meal or almond slices optional
  • 4 tbsp flax seed powder flax meal
  • 1/2 tsp green cardamom powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • Milk as needed

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 360F / 180C
  • In a bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, almonds, flax seed powder and cardamom powder.
  • Next, add butter to this and mix with fingertips until a soft dough is formed. If the dough seems crumbly or dry, add milk one teaspoon at a time
  • Form small lemon-sized balls with the dough and flatten lightly between your palms. The cookies should be roughly ½ inch in thickness
  • Place the dough balls on a baking sheet with some space between them. They don’t spread a lot during baking
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until they are a light golden brown
  • Once done, remove the baking tray from the oven and let the cookies cool down for two to three minutes before taking them off
  • Cool completely before storing in airtight containers
  • Enjoy with a glass of cold milk or tea

Notes

  • The almond meal is optional but adds some nice flavour to the cookies. You can also use some chopped walnuts in place of almonds
  • Replace green cardamom powder with cinnamon powder for a different flavour
  • You can also omit the spices and use vanilla extract instead
  • The butter should be soft but not melted or runny
