Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today is Boyfriend's birthday, so I'm making his favorite treat: chocolate chip cookies! I've played around with whole wheat flour in this recipe, and have found that we really like the texture of the cookies when I replaced just under half of the AP flour with whole wheat. And I feel like it's a bit more healthy that way.






The Ingredients:

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temp
¾ cup light brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 ¼ cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1 bag chocolate chips
splash of milk

The Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar.
2. While butter and sugars are creaming, combine whole wheat flour, AP flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Add vanilla and eggs to butter and mix to combine.
4. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in thirds. Mix just until combined. Add a splash of milk to make the dough a bit more moist. Stir in bag of chocolate chips.
5. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop cookie dough by heaping teaspoon-full onto lined cookie sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack.

This will make just over 3 dozen cookies. Which will last about a week in our house, if I'm lucky. Not only are they a great treat, but they make the house smell fantastic!
