Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons
  • vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups freshly ground soft white wheat pastry flour (I also like to do half coconut flour and half white wheat - coconut flour has tons of fiber!)
  • 1 tablespoon gluten flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375º.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attachment fitted, cream together the butter and both sugars (I like to beat it on high for about 3-4 minutes to get it really creamy and fluffy) then add the vanilla.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate small bowl combine the wheat flour, gluten flour, baking soda and salt, stir with a whisk to combine.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium speed until completely blended.
  6. Add in the chocolate chips. (I also love adding in some pretzels - yum! My kids hate it but, oh well. More cookies for me!)
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to a couple hours.
  8. Using a tablespoon or a 1½” scoop, scoop the dough out and drop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a baking mat.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes.
  10. They will still look dough-y when you take them out but don’t worry, they’ll be fine.
  11. Allow to cool on the pan about 3-5 minutes and then move to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  12. Serve with a tall glass of milk!
