    What are linseeds?

    Linseeds are actually flax seeds, the reddish-brown or golden-yellow seed of the common flax plant.

    They are very high in Omega 3, protein, and fiber, and many cultures use flax seeds in their diet because of the health benefits. Linseeds can be added to all kinds of foods, from bread to cookies, salads, muesli mixes, etc.

    You are here for a treat if you have never tried a linseed cookie before. Linseed or flaxseed cookies are something I discovered recently, and I decided to share the recipe with you.

    In this recipe, the flax seeds are incorporated beautifully with the ingredients, adding texture and crunchiness to the soft cookies.

    Also, it is such a great way to sneak some flax seeds into your diet!

    Flax seeds can be an acquired taste if you never had them before. Some people aren’t too excited about the flavor, but I personally love it. I think it adds a lovely depth and richness to foods.

    You might think that these are regular cookies with some flax seeds in them, but the recipe requires 2 cups of them.

    Also, the cinnamon adds a nice touch to them, and the brown sugar gives them a beautiful color. Such a win-win combination!

    The cookies are not very sweet, which makes them a good snack or even a good breakfast.

    You can feel good about having a cookie with your morning coffee. Or tea, if that is what makes you happy in the morning.

    If you make the recipe, share it with the hashtag #thebossykitchen on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter so we can all see what you’re cooking!
