1/3 c.  Flaxseeds ground in the blender or coffee grinder

1/3 c. Raisins

1/2 c. + 2 T. Maple syrup

Mix all ingredients and drop on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.  Flatten to desired shape.  Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees- until a light golden brown begins to appear.  Be sure not to over-bake as they will get hard.  Let cool prior to  removing from the cookie sheet.  Makes approximately 12 cookies.
