Sometimes you need a little lift…and quick! These cookies are fast and easy. They’re great in lunches or for dessert and since they have some whole wheat flour, you even feel kind of healthy! If you don’t have white chocolate chips, use all semi sweet. The white just make the cookies look less like plops!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional or sub for other nuts)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs, beating until fluffy again.
- Sift together flours, cocoa, soda and salt. Add in 3 parts to butter mixture, stirring well after each addition.
- Add chocolate chips and walnuts, stirring to distribute.
- Using a cookie scoop (ie. mini ice cream scoop or use a teaspoon), drop onto baking sheets. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool before placing on a cooling rack. Be careful not to overbake…they will keep their brownie like texture!
Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 4 dozen small cookies!
These make a quick dessert and are delicious with ice cream! Enjoy!
