1 1/4  cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

8 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup tofu, blended

2 tsp vanilla paste

1 c. pecans, toasted and roughly chopped

1 c. chocolate chips 

Method

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  

2.  Sift together cake flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda.  Set aside.

3.  Using a stand mixer, blend together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar and tofu.  Mix until well combined.  Add in the vanilla paste and continue to mix.

4.  Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix on med until just incorporated.

5.  Add the pecans and chocolate chips and mix on low until topping are distributed.

6.  Use an ice cream scooper to scope balls of dough onto a parchment lined sheet tray.  Gently flatten and pat down the mounds of cookie dough before placing in the oven.  You can use the palm of your hands or the bottom of a drinking glass.

7.  Bake for 15-18 minutes.  Rest on tray for a couple minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
