So, not all of my recipes are "Slender". Sometimes, you just need to bake using traditional ingredients. This is my go-to chocolate cookie recipe that Scotty's mom gave me. I have modified it a bit for convenience and added flaxseed for fun. I hope you enjoy these as much as my friends and family do.
They are simple - so so so simple. AND, the best part is that they keep really well in the freezer. Whenever I have guests coming over, or need to give someone a thank you (but don't have time to bake) I just pulled these bad boys out of the freezer - perfecto!
