Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add whole egg and egg yolk, milk, vanilla, and molasses and mix until incorporated. Set aside.

Sift together flours, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Optionally: substitute 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with wheat germ and/or ground flax seed for a healthier cookie with a little more texture.

Add flour mixture into the wet ingredients in 3 portions, mixing well and scraping down sides of bowl after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop the batter onto a baking sheet using a tablespoon or whatever sized scoop you prefer and bake for 12 minutes for medium-sized cookies, or until the edges are just starting to brown but the middles are still soft.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
