Ingredients

  • 2 eggs egg-free:2 tablespoons flax meal mixed with 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar or sucanat
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour: whole wheat pastry or spelt flour (gluten-free option: use any GF flour, such as brown rice flour)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips best quality
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 ̊F. 
  • Cream the eggs and sugars in a food processor or with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. 
  • Add the oil and vanilla and mix in thoroughly. 
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and pulse (or mix at low speed) until just combined. 
  • Fold in the chips and nuts by hand. 
  • Drop the cookies in heaping teaspoonfuls onto a real cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, 1 inch apart. 
  • Bake 10 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so do not be tempted to bake them a second longer, or they will harden. Bake only one tray at a time. 
  • Store at room temperature in tin boxes. Separate each layer of cookies with foil or wax paper so they don’t stick together.
