Chocolate Chip Cookies Redone.

Chocolate chip cookies redone.
Heat oven to 350 degrees
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (if stone ground, make sure it is fine ground)
1 cup all purpose flour.
1 1/4 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1. Mix in a bowl and set aside2 sticks (1 cup) real unsalted butter, softened or 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter softened plus 1/2 cup of cooked smashed great northern beans, well drained.
3/4 browned sugar packed
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 egg beaten or 2 TB ground flaxseed with 6 TB water (this equals just under 1/2 cup. If using flax seed to replace egg, mix flaxseed meal with water and let set for 2-3minutes)
2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Add vanilla and egg (or egg substitute of flax) Mix well
4. Add flour mixture, mix well. Then add
One package (16oz) semi sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
Mix together.
Drop cookies onto cookie sheet by rounded Tablespoon or a cookie dough scoop. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-14 minutes. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

This recipe is made a bit healthier with less sugar, less fat and whole wheat flour. If using the beans in your cookies, make sure you rinse and drain them well. I like to cook my beans from the dried bean without any flavor or seasonings. Canned beans need to be rinsed and drained a few times before smashing and putting in your recipe. If you use margerine instead of butter, the cookie will have different texture and be a bit more crisp.
