Recipe Additions: Banana Flax Cookies

We already made these cookies again today.  We used the same recipe except for these changes:

Added:
I (20oz.) can crushed pineapple
3 small apples, peeled, cored and chopped
(about) 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Changed:
A little less salt
A little less wheat flour and more white flour because I ran out of wheat

The flavor of the new batch was really nice.  The almonds were a nice addition in that they added some protein, (we were hoping to make this a well rounded sort of breakfast cookie) but in a nice soft cookie there was this unwelcome extra chewing, so for that reason we'll probably omit these next time.  Also, this batch didn't turn out quite as fluffy, though still enjoyable.  I liked the flavor of these cookies better, but the fluffiness and consistency of the first batch better.  We'll continue to fiddle with the recipe, probably doing pineapple tidbits next time instead of crushed and maybe omitting some of the butter and replacing it with some applesauce and maybe a bit of extra flax... making the cookies a bit healthier overall.
