Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
 
 
Adapted from the book King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking: Delicious Recipes Using Nutritious Whole Grains.
Ingredients
  • 6 oz butter
  • 7½ ounces (1 C) dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp espresso powder (optional, I used it)
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ C Lyle's Golden Syrup (you can also use light corn syrup)
  • 1 T apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 9 ounces (2 C) whole wheat flour
  • 20 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat, add the sugar, and stir until the sugar is melted.
  2. Pour the butter/sugar mixture into a medium bowl and allow it to cool to lukewarm.
  3. Add the vanilla, baking soda, espresso, baking powder, syrup, and vinegar.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well each time.
  5. Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  9. Line baking sheets with parchment and drop the dough by tablespoon onto the sheets, about 2 to 3 inches apart. I use a small scoop to create (somewhat) even sizes.
  10. Bake, two sheets at a time, for 12 to 13 minutes, rotating the sheets half way through, until they are just beginning to brown.
  11. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets. Loosen the cookies from the parchment after about 5 minutes.
