Healthy Toll-House Cookies

I recently was diagnosed with lactose intolerance as most people in the world. I've been modifying recipes to see what works/tastes good and what doesn't. Today I modified some Toll House Cookies by making them dairy free and adding some Flax Meal and they weren't half bad! 

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 cups Flour
3/4 cups Flax Seed Meal
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt

(Mix the above in one bowl with whisk)

2 sticks Fleischmann's Unsalted Margarine-(should be dairy free be sure to look a package)
3/4 cups Splenda
3/4 cups Splenda Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

(Cream together the above with stand mixer and paddle attachment)

Add in 2 eggs to mixture
Slowly add in flour mixture
Add in anything else you'd like- I added chopped walnuts and pecans and some shredded coconut
(chocolate morsels have milk in them)

Bake at 375º for 9-11 minutes switching the cookie sheets midway through baking for even cooking.

These cookies were soft and moist... not that bad for being pretty healthy.
