Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies. Healthy cookies..... well, relatively healthy anyway.

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup butter - room temperature

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cups brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

1 cup nuts (optional)

Instructions

	Beat butter,sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs and beat well.
	Combine flour, baking soda and salt.
	Add to first mixture and mix well. Dough should be nice and thick. Blend in chocolate chips and nuts.
	Scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets. A cookie scoop makes this easy but using a plain spoon works well too.
	Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees 8 - 10 minutes. Just until lightly browned. Let cool for 1 or 2 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet. Enjoy!

(note: those at lower altitudes may need a bit more flour. I am at 6,000 feet and I've had feedback that the cookies were flat and ran together at low altitude but add 1/2 cup flour and they were great.)

Look what I found. An entire site on Chocolate Chip cookies!
