Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl mix

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 cups whole oats

3 T flax seed

1 T baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup raisins*

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

In a separate bowl mix

3 eggs

1/4 cup oil

2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup fruit puree **

2 T water

Mix wet and dry ingredients. It will be a very stiff dough. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Use ice cream scoop to portion out dough and wet hands to flatten cookies to 1/2 inch thick. Cookies do not spread. Bake 8-9 minutes. Make sure they are undercooked so they don't dry out and they will be soft and chewy.

*can substitute any fruit and nut combo or add chocolate chips

** any fruit puree works...prune, raisin, apple, pear, etc...(jarred baby food works great and is easiest) or pour hot water over dried fruit and let sit then puree in blender
