Flax Oatmeal Cookies Using Freshly Milled Flour Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, oats, flaxseed, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
