I originally got this recipe from an ex mother-in-law, in that it called for white flour (wheat) and oats. I've modified the recipe to use rice flour and flax.

Guna - Satva

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup margerine or shortening
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups rice or white (wheat) flour
• 1 1/2 cups flaxseed meal
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
• 1 - 12 oz package chocolate or other baking chips
• 1/2-1 cup nuts (optional)

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease cookie sheet(s)
• Cream together butter, margerine, or shortening and sugars
• Add eggs and vanilla. Cream until smooth.
• Sift together rice flour, baking soda, and optional salt. Cream into sugar and shortening mixture.
• Add flaxseed, and continue creaming. By now, the dough will be very hard to stir.
• Add baking chips, and cream until well blended.
• Add nuts if desired.

Cooking

• Bake 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Remove to plate or cooling rack to cool.

Yield: 2-3 dozen cookies
