Soft and Chewy Whole-grain Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is our go-to recipe for Sunday night cookies. These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect blend of soft, chewy, nutty, and sweet. You will get the perfect amount of chocolate in each bite, because I use mini chocolate chips instead of the large chunks.
Much to my family’s dismay, I have served some real failures in the chocolate cookie department–bricks, crumbly as sand, bland–you name it, I have made it. These, my friends, are the result of years of recipe tweaking and they are soooooo delicious. Just like most of the recipes in my “treats” tab, they contain less sugar and more fiber than the original. This one stays true to that form, and no one protests. I hope your family enjoys these as much as we do!
