Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

HOMEMADE FLAX N' OATS

Steps:

• Notes on oats: I use a more finely-rolled, organic oat. Otherwise use quick oats or try grinding your rolled oats a bit.
• Mix together the first four ingredients. If doubling, tripling, etc., mix each in its own bowl / bag. I know this seems silly but if you do it all together and then divide into servings, the sugar and salt will end up mostly in the last one!
• If saving for future, keep in small containers or plastic baggies.
• When ready to eat, pour into a bowl. Add fully boiling water- start with 1/3 cup, and stir it well. If you like it thinner, add more just a spoonful at a time, stirring till you get the consistency you want.
• Cover and wait just a minute for the oats to soak up all the water. (This is optional, but reccommended.)
• Devour! I like to top mine with berries; stir in diced apple or pear BEFORE adding water; try different nuts, etc. This is just a base really, but a darn good one!
