Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°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.
