Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate and Flax Seed Cookies

Ok, so tell me who doesn't enjoy a few hot out of the oven oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - there's nothing like it...well, that's if you like oatmeal and chocolate chips. I enjoy this home made treat so much that I decided to create a recipe that contains mostly healthy ingredients and after a few tests this is the best I've come up with so far. A great alternative with more wholesome ingredients and very delicious. Give it a try I'm sure you'll find it equally as good as mom's original home made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

I am the music, the song, and the dance. My life is the whatever expression I choose to give it. I decide how fulfilled or not I'm going to be; my faith or lack thereof, the positive or negative attitude I decide on embracing or rejecting. I am given "today" to live, so I'm going to give it my all and live the best I can for today.
