The Best Chewy Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cookie
Crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, these are the BEST chocolate chip cookies with a perfect texture and appearance that everyone will rave about!
Servings: 3 dozen
Calories: 190kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour*
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips about 2 cups
- 1 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the vanilla and eggs and mix well.
- Add the flour, soda, and salt and blend together before adding the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using). Mix everything together well.
- Using a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment and a 1½ inch cookie scoop, drop the dough on the sheet leaving a couple inches between each cookie. Press down lightly with fingers to flatten the cookies (this helps the cookies get a nice, round shape because they don't spread much on their own).
- Bake 8 minutes- DO NOT OVERBAKE. They will not look done, but will continue to "cook" as they cool. Let sit for a few minutes on the sheet to set a bit before transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
Notes
*You can use all-purpose or 1/2 regular whole wheat and half all-purpose.
Make Ahead: These freeze wonderfully if placed in airtight containers or freezer baggies immediately after cooling. When thawed a few seconds in the microwave later, it's like cookies fresh from the oven again!
