Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until light and fluffy. Add whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt and mix. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts to make a very crumbly dough. Use hands and spoon to press and compact dough.
