Make the flax egg. Combine two tablespoons of flaxseed meal with five tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, make the oat flour. You can skip this step if you use store-bought oat flour. Otherwise place the oats into a food processor or high speed blender and process until you have a fine flour.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form 12 cookies out of the cookie dough using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes. Mine took 10 minutes. Then let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before you move them to a cooling rack. Don't pick them up to early or they might stick to the parchment paper.
Notes
If you want to freeze the cookies, let them cool off completely. Freeze them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for about an hour. Then transfer them to a freezer bag.
You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 weeks.
Adding a slice of bread helps the cookies to stay soft and fresh. The bread will soak up the moisture, so this is an easy trick to keep homemade cookies fresh.
If you want to make the recipe even easier, you can use store-bought oat flour.
