Chocolate chip Pumpkin Cookies

1 cup cooked and mashed white beans
1/2 cup mashed pumpkin (or banana/winter squash)
1 and 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Mix together beans, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add salt and soda, mix well. add flour, adding a little extra to thicken dough if needed. Add chocolate chips and mix. bake on lightly greased cookie sheet for about 12-14 minutes at 350.

notes:
Also just a reminder to let the dough sit for a couple of minutes before adding extra flour, as wheat flour absorbs the liquid more slowly than white flour. I did add a little water to the beans to make them easier to mash up. And I was using Banana squash.
