METHOD

• Mix flax seed powder and hot water, stir it well.

• Then add oil and brown sugar mix it well and keep it aside.

• Take a wide mixing bowl, add wheat flour, almond powder, coconut and baking powder mix it once till all combined well.
• Now add the flax seed mixture and knead into a smooth dough.

• Preheat the oven at 180̊ C fro 10 minutes. 
• Divide into equal balls (I used 1 Tbsp. For measure the dough for even shapes) and put the balls on the cookie sheet and press down slightly to flatten out.
• With the help of your thumb or the back of a teaspoon make a small hole in the middle of the cookies where you’ll fill the filling after baking.

• Bake the cookies in the oven for about 18-20 minutes.
• Take out the cookies from the oven and using the teaspoon again, press out the hole in the cookies. You will not able to do this after the cookies have cooled.
• Then fill with jam or gems or nutella in the center and serve it…

NOTE

• You can use maida instead of wheat flour also.
• If you making it for kids, use butter in place of oil. 
• If you don’t have brown sugar substitute with white sugar.
• Filling is your choice, you can fill strawberry jam, gems, nutella or chocolate chips.
