2 Tbsp Ground Flax in 6 Tbsp Water, whisked in a small bowl

1 Cup Vegan Chocolate or Carob Chips
1 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 and line 2 cookie pans with parchment paper.
Beat the butter and sugars, add vanilla and the flax mix.
Combine at medium speed in your stand mixer.
Add salt, baking soda on medium speed, reduce to low speed and sift or pour in (pour a tiny stream of flour from about 10 inches above the mixer) at lowest speed and stop after just a minute.
Take the bowl off the stand mixes, and add nuts, raisins, and chips with a wooden spoon, stir and do not overmix, so as to keep the cookies nice and cakey.
Drop by heaping tablepoons onto prepared pans and spray your fingers with s bit of canola oil. Press the cookie dough globs into flat discs that are about 1" thick.
Wash your hands, bake 10 mins. and rotate the pans at ten mins, to evenly brown the cookies.
Let cool in pans and share some asap - these vegan cookies contain no cholesterol, no animal fat or protein....Bake up folks, and enjoy! More cookies coming this week!
