Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out flaxseed mixture onto paper, flatten with back of spoon. Then place the plastic wrap on top. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the mixture. The center tends to be thicker so, make sure and push the sides in with a spoon so they don't burn.

Cooking varies due to thickness, so make sure to check the crispness of the crackers after they're done cooking. You may need to cook 30 minutes or an hour longer.
