I found this recipe in a magazine. Their photo looks much better than mine. I think I cooked mine a little too long. But they were delicious. I think I might cut back a little on the butter next time. It says this recipe has 21% fewer calories, 42% less saturated fat, & 14% less fat than original chocolate chip cookies.
3/4 c. granualted sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. semisweet miniature chocolate chips
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, beat sugars, butter, oil, vanilla, and egg with electric mixer on low speed unilt belnded. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
On ungreased cookie sheet, drop by rounded tablespoobnfuls about 2 inches apart.
Bake 7-9 minutes or until very light golden grown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
One cookie: 110 calories, 6 g fat (2g saturated, 0g trans), 10mg cholesterol, 65mg sodium, 13g carbs, 1g protein.

I use pureed(sp?)cooked white beans in place of 1/2 of the butter all the time in my cookies. It sounds gross but it's not and it saves on 1/2 the fat of the butter.

Thanks! I love finding recipes that use whole wheat instead of white flour! I can't wait to try it.

Jen, I do the same thing… plus the beans add protein! 🙂
We made these as written yesterday and wowsa, are they ever sweet! I'll reduce the sugar a LOT next time (by half, I think) but my kids and hubby loved them. Using half oil and half butter gives them a crisper texture once they cool, so if you like soft-batch cookies… eat them before they cool! 😀

Thanks so much for sharing I have been dying to find some good whole wheat recipes since I have started grinding my own flour. Yay thanks a million!
