If you never tried a linseed cookie before, you are here for a treat. Linseed or flaxseed cookies are something I never tasted before. Recently, I got this beautiful book, written by Paulina Abascal, a popular pastry chef from Mexico. The recipes in this book are easy to make and the pictures are beautiful and inspiring. Here is where I found the recipe and wanted to try it really bad.
Linseeds (or flax seeds) are very high in Omega 3, protein and fiber . Many cultures use them in their cuisine because of their health benefits. The flaxseeds are incorporated beautifully into the recipe adding texture and crunchiness to the soft cookies. Also, the cinnamon adds a nice touch to them and the brown sugar gives them a beautiful color. Such a win-win combination!
