Orange Date Cookies (Vegan)

I posted pictures of these on the tumblr. Here is the recipe:

2 cups white flour
1 c whole wheat pastry flour
1 c oats
1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Mix in a bowl and set aside.

1 c honey
1/2 c sunflower oil (or substitute with canola)
1/2 c milled flax seed
1/2 c warm water (or juice from zested oranges, see below)
Blend in an electric mixer thoroughly, medium to high for about 4 minutes. The flax should make the mixture slightly bubbly.

1 & 1/2 c dates, pitted and chopped
zest of two oranges
juice of the oranges (in place of warm water)
Add to the liquid ingredients and mix. Gradually add in the dry ingredients while mixing until all incorporated. Wipe down the bowl with a spatula as needed. The dough is sticky.

A few tablespoons of flour on a plate or in a bowl.
Heat oven to 375 F. Pinch out dough with floured hands, roll round, flatten slightly (about half dollar coin sized) and place on greased sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes until golden brown. These like to burn on the bottom, so insulate pan with a second sheet pan below or use higher quality pans than what I currently have. Allow to cool and place on a cooling rack. Makes about three dozen cookies.
