Submitted by Avera — November 23, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Ingredients
1/4 cup organic butter, softened
1/8 cup extra virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
3 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat butter and coconut oil together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar and beat well. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture, then stir in oats and chocolate chips.
Drop a heaping teaspoon of dough onto cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

wow! i am eager to try this one!
This recipe uses less sugar and replaces white flour with whole wheat flour and ground flaxseed to increase the fiber content. Flaxseed is also a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. The coconut oil adds a nice flavor and is an excellent source of mid-chain fatty acids and one of the richest natural sources of lauric acid, which helps protect against infectious illnesses. (Of course, these are still cookies so eat in moderation as a treat.)
