Chocolate chip cookies recipe | How to make chocolate chip cookies

By swasthi , on June 3, 2019, 70 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Chocolate chip cookies recipe for the holiday season. School holidays have just begun for my boys and this is what i chose to bake for them. These cookies are made using whole wheat flour and are one of the best that i can ever make. They are delicious with a nice nutty flavor and crispy.

These make a wonderful treat to share with friends or kids around. I tried these last year during dec holidays and got hooked to them since then. I have made these a few times with slight changes each time which i have mentioned below.

How to make chocolate chip cookies using whole wheat flour

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C. This recipe makes 24 cookies, i used 2 trays to bake them. Greased the trays lightly and then lined the parchment paper. You can also use aluminum foil, you may need to cut down the baking time slightly. If you do not have an option to use 2 trays at a time, I suggest refrigerating half of the dough until the first batch is done.

2. Add whole wheat flour, salt and baking soda to a bowl. I also like to add a bit of ceylon cinnamon powder, that is optional but adds a good flavor. ¼ to 1/3 of a tsp goes good in this recipe.

3. Mix them up. Make sure there are no lumps of any ingredients we used above. Set this aside.

4. In a bowl, beat together sugar and butter on a medium high speed until creamy. Takes around 3 mins in a stand mixer or hand held mixer. You can use ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup sugar. I used organic turbinado sugar which also works very well for this recipe. You can also use white sugar.

5. Add vanilla and egg.

6. Beat together just until combined well.

7. Add Flour mix from step 2. Mix until well combined.

8. Add chopped hazel nuts, you can skip these or substitute with almonds, cashews or walnuts. You can even add just a fistful of mixed nuts.

9. Add chocolate chips. You can use mini chips as well. i reduced the quantity of choco chips to half mentioned in the original recipe.

10. Mix everything well.

11. Divide the dough to 2 parts and then each to 12 equal parts. Shape them to balls and place them on a parchment paper. Slightly flatten them as desired. If you like the thick cookies, then u can flatten them only a little. We prefer them to be flatter since they turn more crunchy.

12. Make sure there is enough space in between the dough balls since they spread while baking. Bake for 12 to 14 mins or until they turn golden. After 9 mins of baking, i swap the trays (move top tray to bottom and vice versa) so that they get baked alike.

13. Cool them on a wire rack. Store in a air tight jar. They keep good at room temperature for 3 days and for 10 days in refrigerator.

      Hi Hema,
      Yes you can. The cookies in the pictures were made in a microwave convection oven. Follow the recipe as is. Hope this helps.

    Your cookie recipe looks great.
    Planning to make one of your cookie recipes for my lil one.
    Could you please help me understand, how to make these in a cooker or a heavy bottom alluminium vessel.

    Take care & have a Blessed day🙏🏻

      Hi Flavia
      Doing good! Thank you.
      Try them the same way as you made the cake. Salt at the bottom. Place a plate over the salt and then another plate over it. Then keep the cookies. If the cookies burn at the bottom then keep a thicker plate or may be another plate so the intensity of heat is lesser. Try using a smaller cooker or vessel that is not too tall. Cookies baked in the center of the utensil will bake evenly on top and bottom. You have to experiment with the flame and time. Make the dough and keep in the fridge. Try baking just 1 cookie each time until you know the right flame and time. Hope this helps.

      You can skip it but not sure if the egg smell will be dominant. Increase a bit of cinnamon powder & try

    I have tried many different cookie recipes but none of them were good. When I made these cookies today I couldn’t believe that I had made them. Plus they are healthy too as they are made from whole wheat. You cannot even guess that they are made from whole wheat they come out so perfect.
    It’s a must try recipe.
    I only substituted butter with ghee n the result was crunchy melt in the mouth cookies.

      Karish,
      you have to heat both the rods.
      If there is a fan on and off function, you will get best results for baking when you off the fan.
      You can use the fan for grilling kebabs, chicken or other meats.
      You can also dum the biryani pot in the oven.
      So try that as well..

      Hi Karish
      The cookies are over baked. You have done it correctly but reduce the timing next time you bake. If the cookies are over baked they turn very crisp. Each oven will generate varying degrees of heat, so you have to try what really works well for you with this oven. If the recipe, for example the above one mentions 14 mins of baking, you need to check at 12 mins if they are done. If you have baked only for 12 mins now, then next time bake only for 10 mins. You will have to experiment a bit with a new oven until you get them right. hope this helps

    Hi
    I’ve checked the original recipe too…..i see that sugar was given as half cup in the original recipe…….u hv used 1 1/4 cups of sugar…..more than double……why is that so?
    Do i need to powder sugar before adding to butter?
    Im eager to try it as soon as i get a reply frm u

    • swasthi says

      December 17, 2016

      Hi Anu,
      I think you didn’t notice that the original recipe calls for 1 cup brown sugar and half cup regular sugar. Infact I have reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup along with a large amount of chocolate chips.
      I did not powder sugar, but you can also measure first and powder it, then use it.
      Sorry could not reply you earlier since I am on a vacation

      Hi Karishma
      Did you try my method by toasting it first for some time. You should not use bread from fridge or fresh bread. Toast on the tawa just to dry up a bit and then use. Hope this helps

      Hi Zubi,
      Dry roast the bread on tawa or oven until crusty. Break them to pieces and pulse in a blender.
