Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups fresh milled whole wheat flour (such as soft white wheat)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the fresh milled flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
- Bake: Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Fresh milled flour absorbs more moisture, so avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft.
- Use soft white wheat berries for a lighter flavor and texture.
- Dough can be chilled for up to 24 hours to deepen flavor and prevent spreading.
