Chocolate chip cookies sound so much healthier when you mention they are made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour. It may even be a good enough reason to eat more than one. I tried this recipe and loved it. In fact everyone I have shared these cookies with has liked them too. If you’re in the mood to put a healthy twist on your next batch of cookies try it out.Here’s what you need:

• 2 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt
• 1 cup softened butter or 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup shortening (non dairy version)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Mix dry ingredients in a medium size bowl. In a separate bowl mix butter, sugars, and eggs until creamy. Add vanilla. Add flour mixture. Mix well. Add chocolate chips and stir until throughly combined. Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!
