Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

Every time I would make Chocolate Chip Cookies, they would fail in some way. They would either be too crispy or too flat or too oily. Keep in mind, I would get these varying results from the same recipe. I love to bake and I am really good at it... ask anyone who knows me. 

So I took this "failure" quite seriously. I mean who can't bake a chocolate chip cookie? I couldn't. But not any more. I decided to make it my mission to create a recipe that would produce perfect cookies every time. I am pleased to report that I have. You can find it here.


Then I decided to try making a whole wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie. The are also delicious. Only a couple of minor changes from the original including cooking time.

I hope you find delicious success as you make these sweet treats!

Preheat oven to 375°. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients:

• 2½ cups King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour (It is all about the flour... different brands of whole wheat flour are not equal. Some are grainy. This one is the best for baking cookies and muffins.)
• 1¼ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt

Cream together in a separate bowl:

• 2 sticks butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup granulated sugar

Mix into the butter and sugar:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix together until completely blended.

• Fold in however many chocolate chips you and your family prefer. (Some of my people like a lot of chips. Some of them like one or two in a cookie. I'll let you decide how much is enough.)

I use this glorious little scoop to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheets. Bake the cookies for 7 minutes. Then turn the pan and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes (depending on your oven). I get fluffy and moist cookies every time!
