Procedure:

Preheat the oven at 350 F/180C.

Melt butter and add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to it.  Keep stirring till the mixture becomes creamy. Add the vanilla essence to it, mix and keep it aside.

Now, in a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients- all purpose flour, wheat flour, oat bran, flax-seed powder, baking powder, baking soda , cinnamon powder , salt, walnuts and raisins till they get incorporated.

Now slowly fold in the wet butter and sugar mix into the flour mixture till you get a homogeneous dough. Add milk if its powdery to make it consistent.

Now grease a baking tray with butter or oil . Take about 2 tbsp of dough in your hands and make a ball and flatten it between your palms and place it on the baking tray..Repeat the same for the rest of the dough.

Place the tray in the pre heated oven..It took me about 15 minutes to bake the cookies..(baking time may vary, so keep an eye on them from the 10th minute)

Cookies are done when the corners turn golden brown or when the corners become little hard and the center remains moist.
