Ingredients
2 c. whole wheat flour1 c. white flour3 tbsp. ground flax seed (meal)1 1/2 tsp. baking soda1/2 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter1 c. brown sugar1/4 c. white sugar2 large or medium eggs1/2 tsp. vanilla extract1/2 c. water2 c. semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I prefer dark!)1/3 c. chopped walnuts (or other nuts, if preferred)
Directions
Step 1:
Combine all dry ingredients (except for the sugar, nuts & chips) in a large bowl.

Step 2:
Beat the softened butter,sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the eggs one by one.

Step 3:
Add the dry mixture to the mixer gradually, alternating with the water, until it is all mixed thoroughly.

Step 4:
Add chocolate chips and nuts. Mix in well.

Step 5:
Place in small scoops on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes at 350. Let sit on cookie sheet for another 2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.

NOTE: These cookies "poof" rather than "spread", so you can place them fairly close together on the cookie sheet. If your scoops are the size of a soup spoon or smaller, you should be able to fit 24 on a large baker's half sheet cookie pan.

Makes 48 cookies, after allowing a little bit of "snitching" from the bowl!
