"Most nutrition experts recommend ground over whole flaxseed because the ground form is easier to digest. Whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine undigested, which means you won't get all the benefits.".

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.

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?

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

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!

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.
