WHOLE-WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Whole-Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Huge, craggy, chewy, and delicious, these cookies are guaranteed to become classics in your kitchen. The whole-wheat flour gives them a rich nuttiness; the heft, caramel glow, and generous chunks of hand-chopped chocolate make them irresistible.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped into 1/4- and 1/2-inch pieces

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.

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Whole Wheat Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I modified this Betty Crocker recipe, and I was surprised by the rave reviews other adults gave it! My friend Darlene asked me for the recipe, so I thought I'd share with all... The whole wheat pastry flour gives it some fiber, without making it as overbearing as regular whole wheat flour.

Provided by SAHMchef

Categories     Dessert

Time 37m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter (I use Crisco) or 3/4 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs (I use Ener-G egg replacer)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips (Tropical Source chocolate chips for vegans)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Use a mixer to beat butter/shortening in a large mixing bowl; add sugars, baking powder and baking soda, and blend well.
  • Add eggs (or egg replacer) and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  • Finally, mix in the flour, and gradually add the oatmeal and lastly the chocolate chips.
  • If the mixture forms individual dry clumps, try adding a little water (I had that problem when I used egg replacer).
  • 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.

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.
