Chocolate chip cookie II

My recent finding… www.joyofbaking.com . Here is where I managed to find another version of the age old chocolate chip cookie. This one turned out nicely crisp at the edges and wonderfully chewy inside. I was little skeptic about the recipe because I used whole wheat flour (chapathi flour) instead of all purpose flour and so halved the recipe. But this tasted much better than my previous attempts. This is the exact recipe from joy of baking except whole wheat flour.

1 stick (1/4 cup) butter (room temp)
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 egg (room temp)
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup + 2 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chip

Method:
Pre-heat oven to 350 deg F.
1. Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) and keep aside.
2. Cream butter first until smooth. Then add sugar and beat for another 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat for another 1 minute.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and half way through add the choc chips. Do not over beat. Just enough to blend well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes if the dough is too soft.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I used my tablespoon scoop to drop the cookies. Space them 2″ inches apart as they spread really well. Bake for 14 minutes, cool in sheet for 3 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight container. This makes about 20 cookies.
