Oatmeal-Flax Chocolate Chip Cookies

Adapted from Food Network

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• ¼ cup flaxseed, finely ground
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 12 Tbsp (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the flour, oats, flaxseed, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
