Made with nutrient-rich whole wheat flour, these cookies offer a slightly nutty flavor while staying irresistibly soft and chewy.

Whether paired with a cold glass of milk or enjoyed straight off the cooling rack, these cookies are the ultimate comfort food with a wholesome upgrade.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking for a chewier texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious whole wheat chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
