I used to make the best chocolate chip cookies with white all purpose flour. In every office party I used to take these cookies. My friends loved these cookies so much that they nick named me "cookie monster". But as time passed I became more health conscious. I have started looking for ways to replace white flour, which is full of gluten, with whole wheat or muti grain flours which are full of fiber. I must say I have successfully done that when it comes to baking everyone's favorite chocolate chip cookies. So here is my recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or cooking oil, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla essence, 1/2 cup of white flour, 1 1/2 cup of wheat flour, 2 1/2 cups of oatmeal(ground), 1/4 tsp of salt,1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of walnuts and cashews.
Method:
In a bowl mix white flour, wheat flour, oat meal, salt, baking powder and baking soda and keep it aside. In another big bowl cream together butter or oil, white sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla essence and beat some more till the mixture becomes very creamy. Now add flour mixture to the creamy mixture. Pour only one or two tblsps at a time and mix with a wooden spatula. When this mixture is well blended, add chocolate chips and nuts.
Make small balls of the dough and place them on a ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart. These cookies will expand when baked.
Bake cookies in a pre heated oven at 375 degree F or 230 degree C for 8 to 10 minutes. It will make approximately 55 cookies.
Enjoy them with a glass of cold milk.
