And are mostly guilt free with less sugar and made with pure whole grain flour for nutritional value. These cookies were a two thumbs up with the whole family. Simply delicious!
YIELD: 24-36
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 tbsp unsalted butter, organic
1/4 cup sugar in the raw, or maple syrup
1 egg, local and large (pasture raised)
1 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugars together until well combined. Add the egg in and stir well. Next, add the flour and baking soda until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips together. Let refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Meanwhile line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the rack in the middle of the oven. Take the cookies out of the refrigerator and drop the mixture, or shape with hands, on the cookie sheet about one inch apart. Let bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool and store in a container to make them last. Take them out when ready to serve. Enjoy!
