Sometimes baking with whole-wheat flour could be tricky because too much whole-wheat flour causes the baked goods to be tougher. However this brilliant cookie recipe uses oats, flaxseed and bran flakes to counter the effect, so that your breakfast cookies will be tender and filling! Flaxseed health benefits are very compelling. Studies show that flaxseed reduces bad cholesterol, risks of heart disease, and helps fight diabetes and cancer.
