Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup 1% milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil or coat two large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, chocolate chips, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Combine the sugar, peanut butter, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes.
  4. At low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
  5. Scoop the dough by slightly rounded tablespoons into 1 3/4-inch “blobs,” and place on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.  Bake about 15 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.  Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
