These were very tasty, filling, and healthy! I used whole wheat pastry flour for the flour and substituted butterscotch chips for the raisins (yes, I know that lessens the health, but it sure makes the cookies tasty). I used ground flax seed rather than whole flax seed. I also used real sugar rather than Splenda. These actually look and taste like normal cookies. I wouldn't ever guess they didn't have butter.

My husband and I have been married since 1992 and, after years spent pursuing my career I chose to give it up and became a very proud mother of a little girl born January 2006.
<br>I enjoy spending time with family and close friends and sharing great food and recipes.
<br>I like quick and easy recipes and will often try to reduce fat or sugar where ever possible. I do prefer to make my own food from scratch, as then I know all the ingredients that went into its preparation.
<br>My favorite cookbooks are the Southern Living series.
