itsy bitsy chocolate chip cookies




















These make a million teeny tiny cookies. It is kinda time consuming, but they are really cute and very addicting! These are adapted from the blog 101 cookbooks, where I learned about whole wheat pastry flour.  I haven't totally converted though, I always use 1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat... in cookies, waffles, oatmeal bars, etc....  but make sure it's pastry flour. 


5 ounces mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used half white, half ww pastry)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup pecans, very finely chopped 
1 stick  butter, at room temperature
1 cup  brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 


Preheat your oven to 350. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, pecans, and chocolate. Set aside.
Using a mixer (or by hand) beat the butter until fluffy. Beat in the sugar and mix until it is also light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir by hand until the ingredients barely come together into a dough.
Scoop out little 1/2 tsp of dough, roll into a ball and place two inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7 minutes or until cookies are golden. 
enjoy!
