Before you turn away at the sight of "multi-grain" and "cookies" in the same sentence...please don't. From one dessert lover to another...PLEASE make these. You will be surprised at how good they are...I'm so serious. But...if you are against all things "healthified" feel free to substitute our the whole wheat, wheat germ and Spelt for white flour...but really there is no need because you will never know.
Here's what you need:
1 Cup of Spelt
1/4 Cup of Wheat Germ
3/4 Cup of Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 tsp. of baking soda
3/4 cup of butter, softened
1 Cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 Cup of granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 T. of vanilla
1 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or grease if you don't have parchment.
Beat the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the wet mixture. Beat until combined. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets. You can do tablespoons if you want but maybe don't do quite as many as you would for teaspoons (eg. if you would do 12 teaspoon size cookies, do 9 tablespoon size). Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for two minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy. It's always nice to get a dose of healthy whole grains.
