Description

These rich chocolate chips cookies are packed with nutritious ingredients like oats, rye flour, dried figs, and walnuts.

Ingredients

1 cup walnuts
3/4 cup rye flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup finely chopped dried figs
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
12 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Toast walnuts in a skillet until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Chop coarsely.
3 Stir rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Mix walnuts, oats, figs, and chocolate chips in a separate bowl.
4 Beat butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar; beat to incorporate. Add egg and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Add flour and oat mixtures to the bowl. Mix on low speed until thoroughly incorporated.
5 Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and arrange on the baking sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart. Press down with the back of a large spoon to flatten cookies.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set, about 16 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and cool on a rack.
