Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Another way to use the flour blend recipe (posted today). If you don't want to use the flour blend, you can still make these whole wheat choco chip cookies. They are delicious! You would never know they differ from a regular chocolate chip cookie. And the extra whole grains make them healthy - right?!?! Enjoy!

p.s. this recipe is NOT from Sneaky Chef, but rather inspired by allrecipes. The Sneaky chef called for white bean puree. I'm not sure I am THAT adventurous with my baking!?

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 6 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups Flour Blend (or - use 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup AP flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper (or grease).
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until smooth (at 2-3 minutes). Stir in vanilla and egg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour blend, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the blend flour mixture into creamed mixture. Try not to over-stir. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Drop cookie dough by round spoonfuls, or roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until just browning on edges. Allow to cool on cookie sheet before transferring to wire rack for cooling completely (*TIP FROM HEALTHY MOMMA - I like to put my cookies away slightly warm.....that way they will stay moist and not go crunchy! Just leave the container slightly open for about 30 minutes, so the moisture can escape.) Serve and ENJOY!
