Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 T milk (I used skim)

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 

Directions:

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

- Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

- Using a mixer, cream the sugars with the softened butter for about two minutes.

- Add in the egg, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.

- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, with the mixer on low. Mix just until flour disappears. Don't over mix.

- Stir in the oats and chocolate chips by hand.

- Form rounded cookie dough balls, using about 1 T of dough. Place dough balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat.

- Bake cookies for 11-12minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes to set up. Then move to a cooking rack. Makes around 2 dozen cookies.
