Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Cookie recipes

I think you're golden now.

I made chocolate chip cookies from a recipe that Kruncher sent me. I'll make Peter's probably next weekend. I also made the following:

Trail Mix Cookies

I substituted dark chocolate M&Ms for the chocolate chips, made it 1/2 cup peanuts and 1/2 cup slivered almonds instead of 1 cup of slivered almonds, and I didn't have any flax seed, so I just left that out. I think they turned out pretty good.

Flax seed trivia: Unless its ground, adding flax seed is a waste. We can't digest the whole seed so it passes right on through.
