Steps:
- Place 2 racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. You can butter the sheets instead, but parchment is useful here because the large chunks of chocolate can stick to the pan.
- Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl, pouring back into bowl any remaining bits of grain or other ingredients in sifter.
- Add butter and sugars to bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With mixer on low speed, mix until butter and sugars are just blended, about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until each is combined. Mix in vanilla. Add flour mixture to bowl and blend on low speed until flour is barely combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl.
- Add chocolate all at once to batter. Mix on low speed until chocolate is evenly combined. Use a spatula to scrape down sides and bottoms of bowl, then scrape batter onto a work surface and use your hands to fully incorporate all ingredients.
- Scoop mounds of dough about 3 Tbsp. in size onto baking sheet, leaving 3 inches between them, or about 6 to a sheet.
- Bake cookies for 16 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are evenly dark brown. Transfer cookies, still on parchment, to counter to cool and repeat with remaining dough. These cookies are best eaten warm from oven or later that same day. They will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Everybody raves over these -- they have a richer flavor than ordinary chocolate chip cookies! This is for people with access to freshly-ground flour; it's just not the same with store bought or all white flour. Pecans can be used in place of the walnuts.

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

- Add eggs (or egg replacer) and vanilla, mixing until combined.

- Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls, and place about 2-inches apart on a cookie sheet (I highly recommend the insulated sheets, or use two sheets layered on top of each other with the cookies on the top sheet).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are brown.
- Let sit for several minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack.

WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Another winning recipe from the Nutrition Action health letter, using tub light butter and whole wheat flour. People are surprised how much they enjoy the flavor of these, and I have to agree! The texture and taste won't disappoint. Refrigerate any unused dough, as they're best the day you make them. Makes 48 (3/4 ounce) cookies. If you prefer larger cookies, just increase the cook time by a few minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cacao content.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
These whole wheat chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
