Cooking for 2: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies – Makes 2 big or 4 small cookies

2 Tablespoons butter

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 Tablespoon + 1 tsp. brown sugar

1 Tablespoon whisked egg

1/8 tsp. vanilla

¼ cup + 1 tsp. whole wheat flour

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. baking soda

¼ cup + 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips

Soften butter.  Add sugar and brown sugar and mix.  Add egg and vanilla and mix.  Add flour, salt, and baking soda and stir until mixed.  Add chocolate chips.  Bake at 325 degrees for about 17-18 minutes if you divide dough into two cookies.  If you divide the dough into 4 cookies, bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes.  Enjoy!  (I like to bake my cookies on parchment paper because you don’t have to grease a pan and the clean up is much easier.
