Made a double batch of these to include in a park-wide cookie tasting & selling event, & they were a big success, with people commenting on them being made with the whole wheat flour! Of course, I'm a chocoholic, so that part was great, too! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
