WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

 WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOCHIP COOKIES

Healthy cookies in the true sense! These whole wheat chocolate chip cookies are eggless. They are filled with “better for you” ingredients instead. Lightly crisp and so chewy!! I got an amazing response from my family asking for more such better goodies. So, I baked these healthy and tasty cookies and here I am sharing the most amazing better version of the classic chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are chewy and yummy. The secret of its success lies in the ingredient list given below.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour – wheat flour (atta)

1/8th tsp baking soda

1 pinch salt

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp light brown sugar

1/4th cup butter (soft and cold)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4th cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

1 to 2 teaspoons milk optional, if needed

Recipe:

1. Add flour to a mixing bowl. Mix together flour, baking soda and salt until well combined. Set aside.
2. To another bowl, add in softened butter. It must be soft but cold.
3. Whisk it just for 30 seconds. Then add light brown sugar and regular sugar. Cream until light and fluffy for about 1 to 2 mins. Do not over beat , butter begins to melt.
4. Add in vanilla and mix.
5. Now add the flour to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix well just until combined to form a non sticky dough. Add 2 tbsp of chocolate chunks and combine.
6. *If the dough turns sticky add in 1 tsp more flour and mix. If the dough is dry, then sprinkle 1 tsp milk and mix well.
7. Cover and chill the dough in refrigerator for 15 to 30 mins.
8. Divide the dough into parts and shape them to balls. 
9. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. Just tuck in 2 to 3 choco chips to each of the dough balls.
10. Bake for 10-15 mins at 220 C. Remove when the edges begin to turn slightly brown. The cookies will be slightly soft in the center but will firm up after cooling. They will still bake on the tray after removing it from the oven. So remove them a bit early.
11. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Store them in a air tight jar and use up within 7 days.

Enjoy and keep showering your love.
