Recipe Notes

Note #1- Whole wheat flour may be used in place of all purpose flour.

Note #2- Grind rolled oats in a food processor first and then measure.

Note #3- Mix together ground flax seed with water and let sit to thicken for at least 10 mins. For those not following a vegan dietary approach but needing to lower iodine 1/3 cup of egg whites may also be used.

Note #4- Leave a few inches in between cookies since these are larger cookies and have a tendency of spreading a bit more than regular chocolate chip cookies.

Note #5- For soft chocolate chip cookies under bake by about 2 mins or when the center of the cookie still looks gooey.

Note #6- The recipe yields approximately 25 larger cookies
