Living Homemade: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies



This was my first attempt at baking cookies with whole wheat flour.
 I was a little nervous about baking with it, in fear that it would be "grainy", but they turned out great! I couldn't even tell the difference from  plain white flour.

What you need:
2 c. 100 % white whole wheat flour
(I got mine at Trader Joe's, its great for pastries)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. softened butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla extract
 2 eggs
 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
 (I used milk and white chocolate)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Combine flour, salt and baking soda in small bowl, and set aside.
Combine brown sugar, white sugar, softened butter, and vanilla. Beat well until creamy. 
Add eggs and beat well.
Add dry ingredients slowly to wet mixture. Mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop mixture, in rounded teaspoonfuls onto a non-greased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes. (makes roughly 24 cookies)
