Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nothing is more delicious than a warm, chewy chocolate chip cookie. Using whole wheat pastry flour (regular whole wheat is fine as well, but it won't be as light) instead of all-purpose white flour makes this a contender for the best chocolate chip cookie favorite title.

Yield: 3 dozen cookies

3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (Gold Medal whole wheat flour is fine too)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips (I use Trader Joe's)

Heat oven to 375 F.
Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
