Whole Wheat Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I'm not a baker - really, I'm not. It's because I don't like to measure when I cook, so the whole exact measurements of baking are kind of hard for me to wrap my head around...I always want to add "just a bit more," which, of course, doesn't work.

However, I have found a cookie recipe that I really like, and that I haven't screwed up...yet. And it was on the back of a flour bag.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients:
3/4 C granulated sugar
3/4 C packed brown sugar
1 C butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (we used 8 oz. semisweet baking chocolate bars, cut into chunks)

Assembly:
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, stir sugars, butter, vanilla and egg until well blended. Stir in flour (I add it in gradually), baking soda and salt. The dough will be stiff. Stir in chocolate chips/chunks.

On ungreased cookie sheets (we use AirBake), drop dough by rounded
tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown - the centers will be soft. Cool slightly & remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Yield about 3 dozen cookies (or if you make them as big as we do...about 18 cookies).

Good stuff, I tell ya.
