The absolute best chewy chocolate cookies with a perfect crackly top that stay soft and chewy for at least a week, made completely with whole wheat flour, but you’d never guess because they’re that good!

I couldn’t resist!  I have one more amazing cookie recipe to share with you before Christmas.  I absolutely love a good, chewy chocolate cookie with a crackly top.  Don’t they look so pretty?  I just love them, and of course I couldn’t help but decorate them with just a little white chocolate and some candy cane piece sprinkles.  Yum!

So I was going to call these cookies “crinkle” cookies, but when I googled that I was reminded that that’s a completely different cookie.  Another delicious cookie that I’ll have to make whole grain some time, but not this year 🙂  Can you believe 2015 is almost over?  I know it gets said at the end of every year, but I can hardly believe it.  I’m so excited for 2016!

Back to these cookies!  Look at these amazing crackly tops!  And you better believe they’re really chocolaty with a whole 3/4s of a cup of cocoa powder in a batch.  Yummy!  And let me tell you, they are chewy and stay soft for so long.  I just love these cookies!  I couldn’t stop taking pictures of them!

That being said, this will be my last recipe for a little while, I’m going to take some time to unplug with my family 🙂  I’m not sure if I’ll be back before New Years with another recipe, but in case I’m not I just want to say how grateful I am for your support, and I’m so looking forward to 2016 and what it brings for Food Doodles 🙂

    YUMMY!!! My husband loves chocolate! The best success I have with cookies nor=t spreading and getting thin is with whole wheat flour or spelt. I have never made just chocolate but these look wonderful. I make a cookie with whole wheat, oatmeal, cranberries, coconut, orange zest, nuts, and chocolate chips that we all love. I change around and leave out the choice. chips or just use all choc. Depending on who I make them for. HA!! I really like cranberry and orange zest with the whole wheat and oatmeal.

    Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year!!
