Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Although these cookies are more dense than those made with all-purpose flour, they are soft, chewy, and delicious.

Servings 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the sugar/butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine.
The dough will be quite stiff. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before dropping by rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
If the dough seems too stiff, mix in a tablespoon of water.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned (the centers will be soft)
Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheets and cool on a wire rack.

Spring. Just the word congers up images of blossoms and bunnies, eggs and chicks. . . . and catalogs filled with tableware, linens and all the fresh spring color imaginable. . . . so when my spring edition of the Pier1 catalog arrived – I was immediately drawn to devour every page. The dinnerware, table settings, linens were, in typical Pier1 form, a wonderful feast for the eyes.

But, there was one thing that especially drew my attention. . .their adorable folded napkins – especially the little bunnies in the upper right corner of the page. The catalog directed readers to log on to their website for instructions – which I immediately did.

Upon arriving at the page, I searched for the Bunny Fold and found this. I grabbed some cloth napkins (which happened to be from Pier1) and, following their directions, began folding. It only took me to the 4th step to figure out that there was a real problem with the directions – they were rolling from the wrong side of the napkin. . . and by the final step – it was unmistakable.

I had created this. I took an unfolded napkin and the directions to my husband – who, as a builder, reads instructions for a living . . . and his response was immediate – these are not right. They have rolled from the long side and not the point – and used directions for a granny knot. It needs to be an ‘overhand’ knot. (50 plus years of scouting – he should know his knots!)

After making a few simple changes – rolling from the point and using an overhand knot – the finished product looked like the one in the Pier1 picture. Success!

And so, as much as I LOVE Pier1, no one is infallible. I have done my own set of instructions, including pictorials, for your use should you be wanting to try these little treasures. Such a simple way to dress up a spring or Easter table.

Enjoy,
