If you’re like myself, you enjoy a little something with your morning tea. These oatmeal flax cookies take away the potential guilt (though you should never have guilt from eating anything – ever!) of having cookies for breakfast. With the flavour combo of cinnamon, green cardamom and fennel seed, the cozy vibes are spilling over in this easy one bowl recipe. A small batch of 1.5 dozen, can always be doubled and kept in the freezer for those mornings you need a quick breakfast on the run. If you like, you can add in a handful of nuts or seeds into the batter for a little extra protein, at the very end, before rolling into balls.
As always, I like to remind everyone to ensure any refrigerated ingredients (eggs, butter) are brought to room temperature before baking. It ensures the best results, and that’s all we ever want!
