These cookies are delicious! At least, we think so! If you like a moist, sweet, chocolate chip cookie (that also includes some healthful ingredients), then perhaps you will like these as much as we do.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 ½ cups brown sugar (Sucanat or Rapadura)
½ teaspoon salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour (we use whole wheat pastry flour, but you can also use reg. whole wheat)
1 cup chocolate or carob chips
Place the softened butter in a large bowl. Add the sugar, and cream it together with the butter until it is smooth and fluffy. Stir in the salt, baking soda, and vanilla. Add the eggs. Beat the mixture until the eggs are well incorporated, and the batter is fluffy, shiny and satiny. Now stir in the whole wheat flour. When it is smooth and thick, add the chocolate chips. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan for a minute or two before removing them from the cookie sheet with a spatula. This recipe makes about 3 dozen.
