Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/4 c. all purpose flour
  • 1/3 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/3 c. plus 1 tbsp, light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 60 Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together four, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon.  Set aside until ready to use.
  • In a large bowl, beat together on medium speed butter, sugar, light brown sugar, and salt until smooth (about 3 minutes).  Add egg and beat until blended.  Add vanilla extract (or paste) and beat until combined.  
  • Add all of the dry ingredients and mix together on low speed until dough comes together and flour is combined.  The dough can be used immediately but is easier to work with if covered with saran wrap and refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours.
  • When dough is ready, preheat oven to 400ºF.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • For each cookie, scoop out a level teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball.  Press one chocolate chip into the middle and roll again to hide the chip and reshape the ball.  Place each ball 1-inch apart on the baking sheet.  
  • Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until pale golden brown.  Let rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a cookie rack to cool completely.  

Notes

  • I specifically call for Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips because these chips are a little bigger than your standard Nestle version.  Now, you can always use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips or whatever you have on hand, I just personally like the little extra bit of chocolate!
  • Vanilla bean paste.  One of my secret weapons and something I'll suggest as a replacement for vanilla extract almost always.  But I especially want to use high quality ingredients in this recipe because there aren't many.  So use the best of what you can!
