Makes 36 biscuits
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup plus 2 T flax meal
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, at room temp
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 T whole-milk yogurt
1 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, flax meal, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add applesauce. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add half of the flour mixture. Blend in yogurt and beat in remaining flour until combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and freeze dough for 10 minutes.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Flatten slightly and bake about 12-14 minutes, until centers are set and biscuits turn pale brown on bottom.
