Perfect Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cookies {with a Secret Ingredient} Prep time 20 m Cook time 8 m Total time 28 m This amazing chocolate chip cookie just happens to be whole grain, but all your family will know is that they are the BEST. Author: Jami Boys - An Oregon Cottage Yield: 4 dozen Ingredients ¾ cup butter ¾ cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2-1/2 cups whole oats, powdered in a blender until a flour-like consistency ½ tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or spelt flour 12 oz. (1 bag) chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional Directions In the bowl of a mixer (or a large bowl), cream the butter and sugars then add the eggs and vanilla and mix until light and fluffy. Add the powdered oats, salt, soda, baking powder, and whole wheat flour and mix well - the dough will be fairly stiff. Mix in the chocolate and nuts, if using. Place tablespoon sizes of dough on a cookie sheet, greased or lined with abaking mat or parchment and slightly flatten. Bake in a 375 oven for 8 to 8-1/2 minutes. Do not overbake -they may not look done, but will firm up as they cool, remaining a soft cookie. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for a few days or freeze immediately for fresh-tasting cookies anytime. 3.5.3208
