Oatmeal Flax Walnut Cookies

 I baked these while listening to a fabulous CBC documentary about Mickey who mades bespoke suits for the stars for New york's postwar celebrities--radio gold. Another reccomended listen is Sheilagh Roger's extended interview with Ruth Ozeki about Ruth's new novel called A Tale for the Time Being.

I was snacking on black garlic--my new replacement for chocolate. Yes, I gave the latter up because it gives me migraines.

2 c rolled oats

1/4 cup ground flax

1 cup toasted walnut pieces

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2/3 c AP flour

salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 c brown sugar

3/4 c butter

1/2 tsp Mexican vanilla

1 egg

You know the drill--cream butter and sugar, then eggs and vanilla. Mix flour, baking pwder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, then mix into the wet ingredients. Add the flax, then nuts, then oatmeal. Drop with a medium sixed 3 tbp ice cream scoop bake 14 min.

Eat with a side of black garlic.
