Teresa's Notes:

I've never liked oatmeal cookies until my husband's Aunt Judie made these. They are soft, and so full of flavor that I forget there is even oatmeal in them!!
Aunt Judie passed away in 2010. Every time I make these I think of her. She was a great lady and a great cook. I was lucky enough to know her and even luckier that she passed on some of her wonderful recipes to me. Her humor and warmth are greatly missed.

 

Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
In a large bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, and baking soda.
3
In a separate bowl, blend margarine, brown sugar, and pudding mix; beat until smooth. Beat in eggs.
4
Gradually stir in flour mixture, oats, coconut and nuts. Batter will be stiff.
5
Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand.
6
Bake for 10- 12 minutes in preheated oven. Cool slightly on pan before removing to cooling rack.

I made these this afternoon and as per my norm I "tweaked" the recipe just a smidge....I put in a lil orange zest and a handful of Craisins. Now my question - does anyone else think there needs to be a tad of salt in this recipe?? To me they tasted just a smidgen flat, but not terribly so. This is a wonderful oatmeal cookie recipe! I have searched far and wide for a recipe SOFT like this and one that does not spread ALL OVER the cookie sheet while bakin! LOL!

I'm glad you liked them Tammy! You are certainly welcome to add salt -- I omit salt wherever I can and I just figured the 1 c. of margarine probably had enough salt in it for me. Thanks for trying my aunt's recipe!
