Nick-named Bird Seed cookies by my office-mates daughter because of all of the nuts and seeds in these cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |

1/2 cup organic whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup canola oil |
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats |
1/2 cup seven-grain cereal |
1/2 cup flax seed |
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
