Flax seed is a great substitute for 
eggs, oil, or flour 
in many baked goods.  
It’s heart healthy since it is high in omega-3’s.  
So, I can eat a plateful, right? 
I just made a batch of peanut butter cookies and substituted some of the flour with milled flax seed.  
They turned out so tasty!  
The flax gives it even more of a nutty flavor.  
So, so, so what I was looking for.
Chewy on the inside and crumbly around the edges.
Oh, and a reeses cup on top (of course!).
Ground flax seed 
is a healthier choice since our bodies have a hard time cracking into that hard little seed.
