Carob Pretzel Drops

2 heaping cups crushed pretzels
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup carob chips
1 c. all purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (use less if your peanuts are salted)
1/2 cup nondairy milk
2 T. ground flax seeds
1/2 c. canola oil
1 cup Succanat (or other unrefined sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. Frontier butterscotch flavor

In a bowl, put all that chunky stuff ( peanuts, carob chips & pretzels). In a sifter or sieve place the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a big bowl, whisk together the milk and the flax. (I use an electric whisk or hand held blender, but it works to do it by hand, too.) Add the oil, succanat and flavorings. Beat for 2 minutes until the mixture is very thick. Stir in the dry ingredients. Then fold in the chunky mixture. Drop the chunky batter onto greased baking sheets . Bake for 14-16 minutes at 350 degrees until cookies are firm and lightly browned.

Hint: Flax seeds can be bought whole & then ground easily in a coffee grinder. Cheap coffee grinders are readily found at yard sales. (at least they are in my area)
