Ingredients
– 8 tablespoons salted butter (1 stick), melted
– 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup white sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 egg
– 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour or golden whole wheat flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 to 2/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars until combined.
2-Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until just integrated.
3-In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4-Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined to avoid over mixing.
5-Fold in the chocolate chips. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 12 equal scoops of dough on it using a cookie scoop or spoon.
6-Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until the edges and bottoms are golden brown while the tops remain soft.
7-Let the cookies cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For tips on variations, check out our whole grain muffin recipes for more ideas.

🌾 Use white whole wheat flour for an ideal texture; regular whole wheat flour is acceptable but produces a denser cookie
⏰ Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft and chewy interior; cookies will firm up upon cooling
📄 Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and avoid over mixing the dough to reduce gluten development and keep cookies tender
