This looks like a delicious recipe. I found it in Cookie magazine this month…. Actually, there were a few cool articles in the magazine. They recommend serving the crackers with a fruit spread, almond butter or for an extra dose of fatty acid, an omega 3 rich pumpkin butter. Hmmmm…

1/3 cup whole flaxseed
1/4 cup ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal (available in healh food stores)
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsallted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
About 7 dried figs, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup soy milk

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole and ground flaxseed, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. Add the butter and mix on medium speed with the paddle attachment until the mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs.
4. Fold in the walnuts, figs, and soy milk and mix until the dough is smooth.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.
6. On a floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8 inch thick or thinner. Cut it as if on a grid to form 2-inch squares, the transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet with a spatula. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
7. Bake the crackers until golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Let cool.
