Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Cookies are always kids favorite. Thought of making them bit healthy and stumped up on this recipe of a blogger. The wheat flour seemed hopeful. The recipe calls for refrigeration which is really important because it helps the wheat flour from dying out so makes the texture of the cookie soft rather than dry and cracked.

INGREDIENTS :

Makes 12 Cookies
1 Cup whole wheat flour
1/4 Cup cocoa powder
1 Tsp baking soda
1/4 Tsp salt
1 Cup chocolate chips
1/2 Cup room temperature butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1/4 Cup brown sugar
1 Egg
1 Tsp vanilla extract (essence)

METHOD :

In a bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
Let 1/4 butter soften at room temperature and melt the other 1/4 cup butter. Then let it cool down and thicken a bit.
In an electric beater or a stand mixer beat both the butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Now add the flour mixture and combine everything together at low speed. Then mix the chocolate chips.
Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a sheet pan by lining with parchment or silpat.
Roll the chilled dough into equal sized balls and place them in the sheet pan two inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes or a minute or two more, depending on the oven and how cold the dough is.
The cookies puff up and soft to touch.
Allow to cool down completely and store in air tight containers.
