We just got back from a trip to visit family in Idaho. While we were staying there, we were blessed to have Travis' grandfather, Mel Lemmon, stay at Travis' parents house with us for a week. And during our stay, Travis' mom whipped these cookies up for a couple different family get togethers, and everybody loved them, but especially Grandpa Lemmon, who just couldn't get enough! These cookies are super soft and delicious, and about as healthy as a cookie's going to get! So go ahead and eat a few (Grandpa did! ;) ).
Gold Medal's Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 3 dozen cookies
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened (we do 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup applesauce)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg (we subsitute 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 Tbsp hot water, mixed)
2 cups whole wheat flour (we like to do 1 cup wheat, and 1 white, otherwise they are VERY soft)
1 tsp baking soda (plus 1/4-1/2 tsp if using the "flax egg")
1/2 tsp salt
1-2 cups chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375. In large bowl, stir sugars, butter (and applesauce), vanilla and egg until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.
On lightlly greased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
