Flaxseed peanut butter cookies are an easy go-to cookie recipe because they require so few ingredients and hands on time. The classic version calls for equal parts peanut butter and sugar with 1 egg. Our version of course uses flaxseed!

Below you will find two varieties we tried. The first is a take on the classic, the second (found in the notes section uses a flax egg, less sugar, and brown sugar). Let us know which one you try and which you prefer!

1/2 tsp baking soda

(bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes)
