Recipe as written is not good for Gastric Bypass people. Although you can exchange the granulated sugar with splenda, use the slpenda brown sugar mix, and that would make it quite a bit better.

This recipe defeats the purpose of wanting to add flax to your diet. You have to crush or grind flax seeds, otherwise they will not be absorbed into your body-they will just pass through, which defeats the purpose of eating them.

These cookies were good, although I did crush the flax seeds, and added a LITTLE bit of dark choc chips, and diced walnuts. They do get a bit hard, but fresh from the oven they are wonderful!

This recipe is not Atkins friendly for Induction as it contains oats, flour and 2 kinds of sugar!

Yummy ^^. Seems like a really good substitute for the chocolate chip cookies i make.No chocolate in them but i prefer these for an indulgence. (much better for you)
I used everything the same just used milled flax seed 1/3 cup.
Thanks for the recipe.

Delicious! I kept the flaxseeds whole as roasting them opens them up during the cooking process and adds to the crunchiness. I used 1 egg WHITE in place of a full egg and 1/4 cup DARK brown sugar but no granulated sugar and added chopped walnuts. I will surely make these again. Thanks for sharing!

I used splenda & splenda brown sugar blend and I used almond flour/meal-they were very good this way.

Recipe definitely needs modification as many of u have stated but seems to be a good base to work off of. Anyone try to use soy flour for these yet, maybe a half and half mix?

This recipe as written would need modification to make it Atkins friendly. Crushing the flax seeds, substituting the sugar and flour with low carb alternatives such as splenda and a nut flour instead may work.

Put a slice or two fo bread slices with the cookies to stay soft.
