How to Make Not Your Typical Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 ripe mashed bananas, 1 cup sucanat, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom.
  3. Heat over low heat for 2 minutes, whisking constantly until the sucanat is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup vegan chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
