Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies




you may know
from my posts about my Sourdough Bread
that i like to tinker with some of my recipes
by using whole wheat flour

sometimes it works well
as a replacement for white unbleached flour

and sometimes
not

but when i found a new recipe
for chocolate chippers
using whole wheat

thanks, back of the flour bag

i thought i'd give it a go

and now
these bad boys

are a new family favorite

they have a slight wheaty taste
and bake up crisp on the outsides
chewy on the insides

and because i learned well
in kindergarten

i'm sharing them with you

ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
(i use mini morsels, or sometimes half big and half mini)

to make:

Preheat oven to 375. Mix sugars, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in egg until combined. Stir in dry ingredients (dough will be stiff.) Mix in chocolate morsels. Drop by rounded teaspoon (or cookie scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. (I do 'em for 9 and they are perfect.) Cool on cookies sheets for a minute or two and transfer to cooling rack.

enjoy

now please excuse me
whilst i go take care
