Chocolate & Coffee Whole Wheat Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 2 large cookie sheets, or line sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg and beat well, using an electric mixer. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then add in the whole wheat flour and bran. Mix in the egg mixture, then stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coffee, and nuts. Mix well, with a handheld electric mixer if you prefer.

Put 24 rounded tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving room for the cookies to spread during cooking. Transfer the cookie sheets to preheated oven and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.

Remove from the oven, the transfer to a cooling rack and let cool before serving.
