Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup organic sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup non-dairy dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a half-sheet pan with unbleached parchment paper.
2. In a large pot, combine oil, bananas, sugar, salt, and cardamom; warm over low heat for 2 minutes and whisk to incorporate; remove from stovetop and set aside.
3. Sift together pastry flour, all-purpose flour, and baking soda; add 1/2 cup at a time to the oil mixture and gently combine with a rubber spatula until no flour spots remain (about 2 mins).
4. Gently fold in chocolate chips and walnuts until well incorporated and forming a ball.
5. Place dough ball onto a cutting board; roll into a rounded log, approximately 16" x 3".
6. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 even pieces; place on the cutting board and press down, rounding the edges, ensuring that all pieces are evenly sized. Using a small spatula, transfer to the half-sheet pan.
7. Bake for about 15 minutes; remove from oven and let set on sheet pan for 5 minutes.
