Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies


One of the tricky things with whole wheat is how to exchange white flour out. This recipe works great - you can use hard white wheat such as Prairie Gold with this, or soft white wheat. NO white flour! We use freshly milled flour.

See Joyous Home - Nutrimill for a great grain mill if you don't have one!

 Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large mixer:
1 1/2 c. butter (3 sticks) - softened
2 1/2 c. brown sugar
3 lg eggs
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Cream together until well blended and fluffy.

Add: 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
         2 tsp. sea salt
         5 c. soft wheat flour
         1 c. finely chopped almonds

Mix until blended and stir in: 
         2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Drop by rounded spoons onto parchment paper. Baking time is 8-10 minutes. Check after 8 minutes. These are great with vanilla ice cream!
