Little Sisters Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

My sister has been having "smell" issues since she found out she was pregnant. One fond memory that I have when I was pregnant with my daughters was that she and my mom, would every so often, make us a warm, tasty meal. No reason why than a "just a because" and "we love you" reason. It was dreamy!

So this week my mom and I are made a special meal for my sister, brother-in-law and nephews. I was incharge of the bread and the dessert. For dessert, I named our chocolate chip cookies "Little Sisters Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies". My daughters devoured these cookies, they when we tried them for the first time a few months ago.

Enjoy and happy baking!
