    Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies - a healthier version of a classic cookie. Chewy, with a slightly nutty flavor.

    WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

    Oh my! These have become one of my very favorite cookies. They are on my Top 5 list. They are so incredibly good! I was quite surprised. Or maybe not really. I loved the focaccia and its amazing texture. I should have expected I would like these.  The whole wheat flour (the only flour in this recipe, by the way) gives these cookies a nice hearty, almost a nutty flavor. I love it! I don't like nuts in my cookies or brownies but I love the nutty flavor these have from the whole wheat flour. There is no all-purpose flour in them, only white whole wheat. So you are getting your grains. The cookies are soft, a little chewy, with a slightly crispy edge. They stay soft for at least three days. I even left some on the counter and they were still soft the next day.

    COLD BUTTER

    This recipe is different from others as it uses cold butter sliced into ½" pieces. You cream it with both sugars and it still turns light and fluffy. So you don't have to plan ahead but make these when the craving strikes. Enjoy a batch in 30 minutes, from start to finish.

      Hi Les! I am so glad you are enjoying the cookies! Your addition of chipotle chili powder sounds fabulous! I love kick in cookies too! 🙂 The reason the cookies do not flatten as usually, is because of too much flour. I always recommend spooning the flour to a measuring cup. Hope this helps!

      Hi Susi! That would be cornstarch. It's addition to cookies produces soft and delightful cookies. Also, more brown sugar than granulated sugar will contribute here too. Hope you will give them a try! Thank you!

      I made these last night and they turned out so well! Instead of white sugar(we don't eat that stuff) I used Sucanat and it worked out really well! I may need to add a little water or another egg white next time though. The dough was a little crumbly but this recipe made wonderful and delicious cookies! We love them!

      These cookies are among my favorite choc chip cookies too! I make the original recipe also use white WW flour. I love that grainy, digestive biscuit, texture and taste of the WW flour and they keep really well for a few days in the cookie jar. Using cold butter is a nice convenience too. : )

      I love whole wheat flour in food... we only eat whole grain pasta... and whole grain bread in my house. This cookie is just what I need to try to get some more cookies into my diet. 🙂
