Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups White whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups White bean puree (canned white beans blended until smooth)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, white bean puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
