Healthy(ish) Cookies!

Though I'm usually suspicious of "healthy" baked goods, I thought this one sounded pretty reasonable, and guess what? They were REALLY GOOD. They didn't even need the chocolate chips (which says a lot coming from me). I started with a recipe from Clean Eating magazine and tweaked it slightly. Yummers!

INGREDIENTS:
    2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
    1/4 cup coconut flour (or enough to thicken the dough)
    2 tbsp ground flax seed
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    1 medium banana, mashed
    3/4 cup pure maple syrup
    1 cup unsalted natural peanut or almond butter
    2 tsp pure vanilla
    1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips, optional
    1/4 cup Egg Beaters (or one egg)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (I use my Silpat).
2. In a medium bowl, combine flours, flax seed, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mash banana with a fork (or mash in your Kitchen Aid). Stir in maple syrup, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
4. Add dry mixture to banana mixture, stirring just to combine; do not over-mix. Fold in chocolate chips, if desired.
5. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove cookies from sheet and let cool directly on rack.
