Who says healthier cookies can’t taste just as amazing? These Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with fresh milled flour, giving them a wholesome boost while still being soft, chewy, and packed with chocolatey goodness.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.1 cup salted butter,3/4 cup granulated sugar,3/4 cup brown sugar.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla extract.2 large eggs,2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the freshly milled flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.3 cups freshly milled soft white wheat flour,1 teaspoon baking soda,1/2 teaspoon salt.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips,1 cup semi-sweet chunks.
Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
TIP: For the best texture, make sure to use room temperature butter when creaming with the sugar. This helps the cookies spread evenly and results in a perfectly chewy center with crispy edges.
