Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

My friend tipped me off to this recipe a few years ago and it's absolutely my favorite whole wheat recipe. The whole wheat flour gives it this wonderfully chewy consistency and you can't even tell it's made with it.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 C Unsalted butter
1 C Sugar
1 C Light Brown Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 eggs
2 Cups sifted Whole Wheat Flour
1 C White Flour
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
2 C Semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

DirectionsPre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter & sugars in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix in vanilla & eggs. Combine flours, baking soda & salt. Gradually blend flour mixture into butter mixture. Fold in chocolate chips and drop onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with silpat or that has been greased. Bake 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets before placing on a wire rack.

NOTES:
  1. Try adding in 1 cup of oatmeal and reducing the white flour to 1/2 cup.
  2. I have also made this recipe using only wheat flour (substituting the white for the wheat) and it turned out delicious as well.
