Healthy-ish Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars with an electric mixer. Add in vanilla and egg and combine.

In a smaller bowl, combine walnuts, flour, baking soda and flax meal. Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Fold in chocolate chips.

Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter in round mounds onto the parchment paper-lined sheets, leaving 2″ in between each mound.

Bake for 7-9 minutes, then remove from oven and put the pans on a rack. Allow cookies to sit in the pans for 2-3 minutes prior to transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Store in an airtight container.
