Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies - with Whole Wheat Flour and Raw Sugar

DD2 has been behind me to buy her cookie cutters and chocolate chips to make cookies. I bought the chocolate chips but the cookie cutters have not happened yet. I want to buy one that has many different shapes rather than one huge shape and then I will have to keep buying more shapes. Anyway I am not too fond of sugar cookies and I this way I postpone them for some more time.

I suggested that she make crispy rather than the soft ones. She found this recipe on Food Network. The recipe was easy, no rushing to buy any more ingredients and we could live with one stick of butter.

I am not a good baker. I tend to improvise and that is not a good thing as far as baking goes I have to realize. Stick to the recipe and baked goods come out good and tasty. DD2 is not at an age where improvisation is a problem just yet. So we had some amazing crunchy, warm and tasty cookies. Most of them disappeared the minute they came out of the oven.

After tasting a warm delicious cookies is when I realize why so many people go gaga over baking cookies. I am convert but don't tell DD2 that else she will be baking a storm every day. She is into that baking spree now. If not for her this cookie would never have happened.
