I don't cook much, but when I use a recipe, I can't help but change it. I started with the Toll House® recipe on my bag of chocolate chips and made some changes, yielding a rich, chewy, chocolaty pile of goodness!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
• ⅛ cup coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine whole wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, coffee liqueur, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until blended but still a little lumpy. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest on the baking sheets, 1 to 2 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
