Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Warm and gooey perfectly baked chocolate chip cookies made with white whole wheat flour.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp salted butter completely softened
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour or golden whole wheat
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2-2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add softened butter and brown sugar. Using a whisk or hand mixer, cream butter and sugar together. Note: to quickly soften butter, slice into thin slices and microwave in 5 second increments until softened (if there are small amounts of melted butter, that's okay!)
- Next, add vanilla and egg to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk or mix until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, add white whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined. Note: You can also add this directly to the bowl of wet ingredients, just be sure to sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly.
- Combine the flour mixture with the butter and sugar mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined (do not over mix). Fold in chocolate chips.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop 12 equal scoops of cookie dough onto the parchment paper. Note: If you like a thinner/flatter cookie, press down the dough a little bit before baking. If you like a thicker cookie, keep them scooped as is.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes at 350 degrees. You’ll notice that the tops look soft but the edges and bottom will start to become golden brown. Cookies will set as they cool, do not overbake.
Notes
*to quickly soften butter, slice into thin slices and microwave in 5 second increments until softened (if there are small amounts of melted butter, that's okay!)
I recommend using King Arthur Golden Whole Wheat (or White Whole Wheat) flour. (affiliate link)
Regular whole wheat flour also works but will result in a slightly denser cookie.
