Notes
- I have used wheat germ for this recipe, in case you don’t have wheat germ, add 50 gm of wheat flour or oats. Rest of the recipe will remain same.
- To make the recipe healthier I have added honey. You can substitute honey with 30 gm of brown/white sugar.
- Baking time depends upon the shape. Thicker the cookies, more time required to bake.
- You can replace flax seed solution with an egg.
- Skip adding salt if you are using salted Butter.
