PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 dgrees.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Whip the ground flax seeds and water until thick and creamy.
• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, milk and vanilla.
• Beat at medium speed with a hand dmixer until well blended.
• Add flax seed mixture and beat until just combined.
• Add flour mixture (and ground peanuts or chocolate chips if using) and mix until just blended.
• Drop 1 tbsp of the batter onto cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Flatten slightly in a criss-cross pattern with the tines of a fork (I use a pasty cutter, and roll it across the cookies).
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. Do not overbake.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet for 3-5 mintues before tranferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
