Chia Seeds Cookies

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (1 cup), rolled oats (½ cup), chia seeds (¼ cup), baking powder (½ teaspoon), baking soda (¼ teaspoon), and salt (½ teaspoon).

3In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar (½ cup), and granulated sugar (¼ cup) until light and fluffy.

4Beat in the egg (1 large) and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until well combined.

5Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chips (½ cup) and chopped nuts (¼ cup) if using.

6Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

8Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
