Valentine Oatmeal Cookies (vegan)

 Baking day with my Big Boy B.  He's home from school on Valentine's Day so why not!  :)

Set Oven to 375

In Kitchenaid bowl, combine:

3/4 c. Earth Balance vegan butter, softened (or butter)
3/4 c. Sugar
2 TBSP Milk (Soy, Almond, etc.)
1 TBSP Ground Flax mixed with 3 TBSP hot water, let sit 5 min (or use 1 egg)
1 tsp vanilla

Beat these ingredients together until creamy.  Then add:

2 1/2 c. Whole Wheat flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt

Add:
1 c. Oatmeal

Mix all together in Kitchenaid Mixer until it forms a stiff dough (don't refrigerate)

Roll out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters, top with candy, sprinkles etc.

Bake at 375 for 10 min., watching carefully until they are just starting to brown.

I liked the ones that were rolled thinnest and were crispy.
