Whole wheat, oatmeal, flax flour, raisin, chocolate chip cookies

I was craving a cookie, so I made some with what I had at the house

This made 24-28 medium sized cookies (about 1 1/2"-2" circles once pressed out a little). I wouldn't make them any bigger, they might be too crumbly if they get too big. They're a perfect amount of cookie in the medium realm anyway.  Mmmm, coooookie. 

Co-Op

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour*

2 cups rolled oats*

1/2 cup flax flour ( I have organic flax seeds, but I had already ground, non organic and wanted to use them;)

1/2 cup butter* at room temperature 

1/2 cup raw local honey (my favorite brand is only sold at the farmers market, but they have good raw honey at the co-op too)

1/2 cup raisins*

1 egg*

Regular Grocery store 

1tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

1/4 cup chocolate chips (I only added these to half the batch, make it 1/2 cup if you want them in the whole thing)

Cream together honey and butter, then mix in egg, spices, and baking soda/powder. Mix the flours, oats, and raisins/chocolate chips in a separate bowl until combined and then gradually add, 1 cup at a time, of mix into wet mixture with a wooden spoon. 

If your dough is too sticky, add more wheat flour, 1tbs at a time, until it looks like this.

 It should pull away from the bowl more than stick to it.  I live in the desert and usually don't have the problem of too wet/sticky of dough, but I know it might happen in more humid climates, so be warned. 

Scoop out dough either in balls like this 

squashing  them down a bit to widen them out, these cookies do not spread when cooked, or just use a regular spoon to grab some dough and place in a clump on the cookie sheet (which is what I did for the finished cookies pic at the top). 

Bake at 350 degrees, in a pre heated oven, for 7-8 minutes. The edges will be a nice golden brown. Take them off the pan after giving them 30seconds or so to cool, cook just enough to move them to a cooling rack.  Allow them to cool for a couple minutes before you eat 'em. 

Just an FYI: these cookies PRE chocolate chips are not super sweet, they're really good with just the raisins, but totally get sweeter for obvious reasons once the chips are added.
