Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is based on the standard Toll House cookie recipe with some alterations to make them a bit more healthy. (The whole wheat flour makes them a bit more filling and cutting the butter down helps with the fat.)

You'll need:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
And how to do it:
  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Mix both flours, baking soda and salt in a small bowl
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, applesauce, sugars, and vanilla until smooth
  • Add one egg at a time, beating each into it the sugar and butter mixture
  • Add the flour a little at a time into the butter mixture
  • Fold the chocolate chips into the batter
  • Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets covered in parchment paper
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes
  • Cool on wire racks covered in waxed paper
This should make somewhere around 4 dozen cookies or so.
