Note from Vickey:
***SMART BALANCE PATENTED TO IMPROVE CHOLESTEROL RATIO! ( BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS HAVE CREATED A PRECISE BALANCE OF NATURAL VEGETABLE OILS, PATENTED TO IMPROVE THE RATIO OF HDL "GOOD" TO LDL "BAD" CHOLESTEROL.

I know this is a lot of information, but I felt I needed to let everyone know about it and why I used it in the cookies and also in the Flaxseed Banana Bread.

Yield: 60 COOKIES

NOTES : The second recipe is TUTTI-FRUTTI COOKIES also made with flaxseeds which I just finished baking and when the first batch came out, you got it, I just couldnt help myself and had one immediately, the smell of these cookies while baking drove me crazy. These cookies are so delicious, slightly crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside with a cake like texture. All I can say is delicious, delicious, delicious, Ive died and gone to cookie heaven. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY! - Vickey Perhaps we can find a way to reduce these recipes to under 30%CFF. I certainly wouldnt use the shortening called for in the cookie recipe (but Vickey made them successfully with Smart Beat). I plan to try the banana bread recipe hopefully next week.
