Oatmeal Walnut CookiesThis is a wonderful cookie recipe passed down from my Godmother, through my mom, to me. I have asked for it over and over again through the years because I seem to misplace things to say the least. I recently had dinner at my Godmother’s who, is a master macrobiotic chef. When I walked into her house, a plethora of delicious smells wafted from the kitchen. There was a hearty minestrone soup on the stove, a beautiful salad laced with pomegranate and persimmon and multiple trays of my favorite cookies. I made sure to get the recipe for the cookies once again, along with two other cookie recipes. She also gifted me with a lovely Vegan cookbook called Vegan Holiday Kitchen by Nava Atlas, I am sure I will be experimenting with many more recipes in the near future.I was also gifted with another wonderful vegan cookbook from my step-mom titled Veganomicon, The Ultimste Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, my step-mom has made many wonderful dishes from this one, I have yet to try them out myself. Ingredients:1 ½ cup rolled oats 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (can also be made with gluten free flour) ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 cup walnuts, chopped coarsely  ½ cup chocolate chips (optional) ½ cup canola oil (or any oil vegetable or nut oil that does not have strong flavor) ½ cup maple syrup  2 tablespoons vanilla (I used hazelnut extract which is very nice) Recipe: 1.
