Hi Angelina,

In my personal opinion I think the recipe needs some oil in it. The batter is more of a muffin consistency rather than cookies.

Chocolate chip seem to be missing a wet ingredient. They did not form a batter.

Hi Judy,

Thanks for the heads up. I personally prefer to use white wheat flour in my cookies...whole wheat is too heavy and dry in many recipes. If any of our readers have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
