Dr. Mark Hyman’s quote regarding Cookiehead cookies — “If you’re going to eat a cookie, eat this one,” is due to our ability to offer a cookie packed with whole grains, nuts and seeds AND to making it taste delicious.

Among the ingredients packed into our cookies is flaxseed.  Aside from tasting nutty and crunchy, the performance of flax is powerful. According to an article written by Elaine Magee, MPH, RD:

•  Preliminary studies show that flaxseed may help fight everything from heart disease and diabetes to breast cancer, and owes its healthy reputation to: 

• Omega-3 essential fatty acids, “good” fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s.
• Lignans, which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains 75-800 times more lignans than other plant foods.
• Fiber. Flaxseed contains both the soluble and insoluble types.

We added this powerful little ingredient to our cookies, so you can indulge your body with healthy crunch, while you are indulging your taste buds with delicious cookies.
