Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

This Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Weelicious Lunches is a new favorite in my house!

As you well know, I am a big fan of the chocolate chip cookie…posting more than my fair share of CCC recipes here on my site.

But never have I posted a Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie… I mean until today.

But first let me start by saying this post is about cookies, of course it is, but it’s ALSO about the cookbook where I got the recipe: Weelicious Lunches.

Can I tell you how OBSESSED I am with this book?

Please?

Well, I pre-ordered in on Amazon…I had it in my virtual cart literally for months before it came out.

I was also lucky enough to receive an early copy in the mail from Catherine. So I kept one and I gave one to a friend.

Catherine McCord is the blogger behind Weelicious and she is completely fabulous, in the best way possible.

Anyhow, the concept of this book is coming up with lunch box ideas and recipes that are new different and delicious all while being wholesome and nutritious.

I easily get stuck in the PB&J rut when packing my kids lunches…so I couldn’t wait for this book for some inspiration!!

And it did.  Completely inspired.

I have made SO SO many recipes out of this book, from her simple Homemade Nutella to her Zippy Minestrone Soup.

Beyond recipes, there are just some fun ideas on how to pack your kiddo a healthful lunch without breaking the bank or having to buy all the ingredients in the land!

I will say that I went out and bought my kids each a new lunchbox.  It helped amp up the excitement.

My little guy chose the Planetbox.

And my other kiddo chose the Laptop Lunch box.

Both are nice, but the Planetbox is far superior in my opinion.  It’s sturdy, easily washable and totally dishwasher safe.  Yes, it’s a bit of an investment, but this isn’t a lunchbox that you will have to replace anytime soon.

The Laptop Lunchbox is nice and my older kiddo liked the bag design better, but the lids to some of the boxes are hard to put on and take off.  A small complaint, but that’s just what I think. It’s also completely dishwasher safe.

Here are a few examples of how I’ve been packing my kids lunches lately…

I’ve taken a few ideas from her book and then incorporated some things my kids love.  And yes, that means the occasional peanut butter cup 🙂

Using the recipes and tips from her book and then incorporating them into my own daily life is really what I want you to see…yes I do let them eat a pre-packaged applesauce.  I don’t make everything from scratch…you don’t have to…it’s all about thinking outside the box and that’s what I love about this book!!

And that’s where these cookies come into play…

A sweet treat to include in your kid’s lunches…

The whole wheat flour in these cookies isn’t detectable, but it leaves the cookies with a nice chewy consistency that my family loved!  I’ll be making these again for sure!!

  1. These cookies are delicious! However, mine spread quite a bit instead of being thicker like yours in the picture. I do quite a bit of baking and followed the recipe but am wondering if you have any pointers that could help me get cookies that look like yours instead of my flat ones.

    1. I use the convection setting on my oven, which might have made a difference. It’s a personal preference and not in anyway necessary to this recipe. Is your oven temperature accurate?

      1. I don’t have a convection option, wish I did. I haven’t ever tested my oven temp but maybe next time I’ll try baking them at a lower temp. Thanks for the help!

  2. The more vanilla, the better I say. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve tried to win this awesome book. Maybe 11.12.13 entry day will be lucky for me! Thanks for the giveaway and featured recipe

    Well I trust your Chocolate Chip Cookie taste buds because you seem to know them well! I’d like to give this one a try, and I’ve had my eye on that cookbook for a while now! I need some help in the lunch area!

    Oh my – these cookies look so good! And the fact they havve whole wheat! Awesome! Do you think subbing the flour for oat flour would work?

  5. Cookies look wonderful and I just bought myself a large bag of baking chips at Sam’s Club this morning so I’m all set to do some baking.
    Looks like a great book.
    Thank U 4 this opportunity

    These are LOADED w chocochips!
    And making them w whole wheat makes me feel better about feeding it to the kids.
    Thanks, Shelly!

    Shelly these are AWESOME! Would have never guessed they were whole wheat! You take the best pics of cookies – they always look like you pulled them from the oven a minute prior (well you probably did!) 🙂

    Great seeing you this weekend and hopefully your flight home was easy-breezy!
