Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Skipping all-purpose flour gives whole wheat chocolate chip cookies a very chewy bite. Dunk them in milk or transform them into ice cream sandwiches.
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 ounces cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate roughly chopped into 1/4 and 1/2-inch pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Sift the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in any larger grains caught in the sifter back into the dry ingredients.
- Beat the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until fully combined, about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time followed by the vanilla extract. Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on low until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add the chocolate and mix on low speed until incorporated.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls, and place them on a sheet pan spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake for 16-20 minutes, rotating halfway through baking, until they are deep brown. Slide the cookies on the parchment onto the counter to cool.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
For ice cream sandwiches:
2-3 pints of ice cream, slightly softened Place a single scoop of ice cream on a cookie. Gently press another cookie on top, pushing down the ice cream so it is in an even thickness, about 1 inch. Freeze the ice cream sandwiches. If you want to halve or quarter them, freeze the ice cream sandwiches before cutting with a serrated knife. Cookies adapted from Food 52
