Wholesome banana chocolate chip cookies. Ingredients:
3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (see head notes) |
1/2 cup (toasted) wheat germ |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt |
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup natural cane sugar (or brown sugar) |
2 large eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2/3 cup banana chips, loosely chopped |
1 cup chocolate chips |
2/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, racks in middle/upper middle. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, or stand mixer, beat the butter until lightly and fluffy, then beat in the sugar until it is the consistency of a thick frosting. Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next, and scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times along the way (important!). Stir in the vanilla. Add the reserved flour mix in two increments, stirring/mixing a bit between each addition (but not too much). By hand, stir in the banana chips, chocolate chips and walnuts - mix just until everything is evenly distributed.
4. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart and bake for about 7 - 8 minutes, until barely golden on top and bottom. Resist over baking, they will come out dry and not as tasty. Cook on racks.
5. Make about 24 cookies.
