Chocolate Chunk Cookies

When I tell you these are the best chocolate chunk cookies, I really mean these are the BEST chocolate chunk cookies.

They’re soft, chewy, crisp and buttery. The best part is, they’re healthier for you and your kiddos because they are made with whole wheat flour and way less sugar — but you’d never know it.

I made this recipe ten times to get it perfect. Just ask my husband and kids — who, by the way, LOVED EVERY SINGLE BATCH. But, I’m sharing ONLY the very BEST batch with you, as voted by them.

You need to keep this recipe on your regular rotation, and I promise they won’t last long in your house. You can easily make a batch and freeze a batch for later.
