Vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

sugar mixture:

½ cup maple syrup (I used grade B)
½ cup vegan sugar
2 sticks of Earth Balance Buttery Spread Sticks (vegan butter)
½ tsp vanilla or almond extract
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 medium banana

dry ingredients:
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 Tbsp vital wheat gluten flour
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger powder
1 tsp baking soda

Fold in:
½ cup vegan white chocolate chips (optional)
½ cup raw chopped macadamia nuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add sugar blend ingredients to large bowl. Blend with hand mixer until butter is creamy - a little chunky is good for the cookie.
3. Add in the dry ingredients and mixer blend on lowest setting just until the mixture gets thick. Then remove and hand fold.
4. Fold in the chips and nuts. The more the merrier. mmmmm. 
5. Place dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes for easier scooping of dough.  
6. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for about 16 minutes. Cool.
