Chocolate Chip Cookies (with a twist!!)


A new twist on a old favorite . . . sometimes I even substitute 3 tablespoons of ground flax meal for 1 tablespoon of the butter, but I didn't do that today.


Chocolate Chip Cookies (they'll never know the difference)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

1. Preheat oven to 375*
2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars and vanilla extract until creamy. Add eggs, beat well.
4. Beat in flour mixture.
5. Stir in chips and nuts.
6. Bake for 10 minutes or until just starting to turn brown. (Don't overbake!)
Makes about 60 cookies
