Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are so delicious and developed for whole grain flour.
There has been so many times that I have went to make cookies using a recipe that came highly recommended only for it to melt into a puddle on the pan! This is because when converting to whole grain, you actually need more soft white wheat flour than you would all purpose!
If you are a whole grain baker, use this recipe! It comes out perfect every time and is made with such simple ingredients. If you use all purpose flour, remove 1/3 cup of the flour from this recipe or it will be too dry and dense.
This recipe is not overly sweet. If you like super sweet cookies, you may want to add a bit more sugar. I prefer a cookie that is not overpowering with sweetness! I enjoy tasting the salt, butter, and mild grain flavor.

Vanilla Wafers
Growing up, I always loved vanilla wafers. When the mini version came out, it was my absolute favorite! As an adult, I don’t particularly care for the additional preservatives, so I have created my own recipe! I hope you’ll enjoy!
The batter for these vanilla wafers is very simple to throw together. Dry first, then wet. Make sure to chill the dough for a bit so they don’t run when you bake them.
The first few times I made these, I made them way too big! Be sure to make very small balls of dough. The will puff white a bit! If they’re too big, they lose that wafer feel. We want them small.
The recipe called for 2 teaspoons of baking powder because I use 100% freshly milled flour. Not only does this improve the nutritional content, it also improves the texture. I love the crumb that’s formed around the outer edge!
I highly encourage you to make these for a snack, dessert, and they should most definitely replace any vanilla wafers in banana pudding. If you’re going to make it, let’s make it right! 😘
