I'm A Big Ole Copycat Cookie Baker!

Hey everyone! I love to use whole wheat flour, I like the "bite" it provides and that it makes me feel a little better about the baked goods I'm consuming. As soon as I saw this Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe posted by Tiffanee at One Crazy Cookie, I knew I had to try it!

My thoughts:

• I cut back on the white sugar and used 1/2 cup, might even use less the next time.
• I used 2 cups King Arthur whole wheat (which is powder fine) and 1 cup Heckers regular (grainier) whole wheat flour.
• I think you could use all King Arthur Flour's White Whole Wheat flour and the kids would be totally faked out! 
• Using a 1 1/4" cookie scoop the first tray did not melt down, it stayed puffed and round. Maybe because I cut back on the sugar, maybe because the wheat flour has more body than A/P flour and absorbed more moisture. So I flattened the next tray with my finger before putting it into the oven. That worked fine.
• I think I'll test adding a tsp or two of water or milk the next time.
• As for taste and consistency, they are great! A little chewier than regular, and very good!
• Thanks Tiffanee for sharing this yummy recipe, I will make these again. You can see how Tiffanee's cookies turned out HERE.
• Did you notice my mad editing skills??? I used picnik.com to add the words to the picture, look out world I learned something new-Woo Hoo:@)
