Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Did you know that cookies made with whole wheat flour are good for you?  And if you grind your own wheat berries to make the whole wheat flour - then the cookie calories don't count at all.  Seriously.  That's what I'm going with anyway :)

I was curious to see what this recipe would be like since I have never used whole wheat when making cookies, but let me tell ya, they are awesome!  I gave one to my teenager and she didn't notice a thing.  She even asked for another one :)
