Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1

Prep: preheat the oven to 350°. Grease or line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.

Step 2

Whisk Flour: in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Mix: in a large bowl with a handheld blender or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until combined.

Step 4

Add Ingredients: add in the egg and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Cream: starting on low and increasing your speed to high, cream together the ingredients until soft and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Add Ingredients: add in the flour mixture and gently blend together on low.

Step 7

Add Chocolate Chips: Add in the chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula by hand.

Step 8

Spoon onto Baking Sheet: using a cookie scoop or 2 spoons, scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough onto the baking sheet, leaving several inches between the dough.

Step 9

Bake: place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes and until just golden brown. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the cookies continue to cook for 2-5 more minutes. If your cookies are too fluffy, simply take the hot baking sheet and drop it onto your stovetop or counter from 5-6 inches high. Do this 2-3 times and you will see your cookies flatten.

Step 10

Eat: Let cool and serve.
