Double Chocolate, Almond and Flax Cookies

Remember the Chocolate Chip, Cranberry, Flax Cookies I made some time back? Well it was a huge hit in my family. I have made it umpteen times since with different dry fruits and nuts.... Last week when I was searching for a healthy chocolate cookie recipe I found Miryam posted the same recipe with the addition of cocoa powder..... I made it immediately and again it turned out to be a big hit:)... Since I am not a big fan of walnuts I substituted it with Almonds and I used sunflower oil....

Before going to the recipe I want to share something with you all..... Have you noticed the new red badge on the right side? Yes! It’s my first ever DMBLGIT (Does My Blog Look Good in This) win:).... It was a wonderful surprise early this morning to find out that my Banoffee Pie Served in A Glass has won 3^rd place… I always wanted to get one of those badges for my blog and it is like a dream come true for me :).....
