Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, canola oil, sugar, soymilk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
4
Fold in the farina, chocolate chips, carob chips, and walnuts (or other preferred nuts) until everything is evenly distributed.
5
Scoop about a teaspoon of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly to form a disk, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between the cookies.
6
Place the sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start turning golden brown.
7
Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
