Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (1 stick)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (your choice: almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup ground flax seeds (also called flax meal)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the soft butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar with a stand mixer, electric hand whisk, or a wooden spoon and some elbow grease. Continue beating until it is well combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and beat until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until there is no visible dry flour.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, rolled oats and ground flax seeds.
  • Scoop and roll the cookie dough into ¼-cup dough balls. Place them on the baking sheet spread out at least 2 inches apart.
    Chill for at least 1 hour in the fridge or just 30 minutes in the freezer.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
  • Bake for 14 - 16 minutes, until golden around the edges. Let cool for at least 5 minutes, then enjoy!
