How to Make The Heart Healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, grind 1 cup walnuts into a fine meal (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add ½ cup canola oil to the food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture resembles natural peanut butter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Transfer the walnut mixture to a large bowl.
  5. In a small saucepan, whisk together ½ cup packed brown sugar and ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil.
  6. Pour the hot brown sugar mixture over the ground walnut butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
  10. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  11. Shape the dough into 2-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Lightly dip the bottom of a drinking glass in water and flatten each cookie.
  13. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops appear dry.
  14. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
