Chips Ahoy- Banana and Chocolate Chip cookies

I needed to indulge today without bursting at the seams. So I compromised and baked these cookies. With ingredients like wheat germ, whole wheat flour, flax seed oil and pine nuts- it felt like I was eating healthy. No harm done- they were delicious! (I was supposed to send half of them to H's work. Needless to say they never made it in!) :-D

The recipe was a variation on this one.

Preheat over to 375F and arrange racks in the middle of the oven

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp flax seed oil

1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups whole wheat white flour
1/2 cup wheat germ, toasted
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup banana chips, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Cream the butter, oil and sugar until light and fluffy
Beat the eggs in one by one and mix well
Stir in the vanilla
Sift the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powders
Mix the wheat germ into the flour mixture
Add half the flours to the egg mixture, stir well
Add the rest of the flour to the mix and stir until just incoorporated
Mix in the nuts, banana and chocolate chips

Using a small cookie scoop, drop the cookie dough onto parchment or silicone baking sheets onto a cookie tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just golden. They will come out soft but cool to a nice moist cookie.
