Introduction

These monster cookies are packed with delicious flavour, but a little bit of whole grains too! You could even argue the 2 cups of bittersweet chocolate that went into them makes them an antioxidant superfood!

Ingredients

    ½ cup cold, cubed salted butter
    ½ cup cold, cubed non-hydrogenated shortening
    1 cup light brown sugar
    ½ cup granulated sugar
    1 egg
    1 egg replacer (such as Ener-G or my homemade one), prepared
    1 tbsp vanilla
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat bread flour
    pinch nutmeg
    1 tsp baking powder
    ¼ tsp baking soda
    ½ tsp salt
    1 cup large chocolate chips
    1 cup mini chocolate chips

Tips

These are AMAZING right out of the freezer, or used to make jumbo ice cream sandwiches


Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Beat the butter and shortening in a stand mixer on medium speed 1 minute, until it comes together in a mass.
Add both sugars and continue to beat for another 1 to 2 minutes, until all of the sugar has been incorporated into the butter.
Gradually add the egg, egg replacer and vanilla and continue beating on medium speed until mixed, scraping the sides of bowl once.
Gradually add the flours, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt and beat in just until flour is incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
Divide the dough into 12 even pieces, roughly shaping each into a ball (it should not be smooth).
Place them on the baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes (or freeze firm, transfer to an airtight container and freeze up to 4 months).
Preheat oven to 375F.
Bake cookies “fresh” for 18 to 24 minutes, frozen solid for 20-28 minutes, or until light golden brown on top.
Let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or frozen.
