Vegan Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

All amounts are best guesses, I didn't measure a thing. This was a small batch, since one of the silpats is dirty from roasting potatoes for dinner. These cookies are crisp and crumbly.

Pre-heat over to 350.

1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup (grade b)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Scharfenberger 60% chocolate, cut into chunks
1/3 cup walnuts (don't bother chopping)

In kitchenaid, blend butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Should look like the beginning of cake frosting. Add walnuts, add flour a bit (1/4 cup or so) at a time. Try to minimize the mixing once the flour is added. Occasionally stop blender and use wood spoon to pick up the bits of flour at the bottom. Texture should be a bit crumbly. Add maple syrup until the crumbly mixture becomes moist, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Mix in chopped chocolate. Spoon 1-2 tbsp cookies onto silpat, bake in 350 oven for 12-15 minutes.
