Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
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!
