White Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Bran Cookies are soft chocolate chip cookies from a recipe I found in a magazine. I thought the magazine was American Style, but now I'm not sure if it was American Style or American Lifestyle, which is magazine realtors use to stay connected to their clients. Wherever it came from, I had fun playing with it.

These are good cookies, but as mentioned they are on the soft side and not crunchy. If you bake them longer you can get the edges slightly crispy, but the centers will still be soft.

    I made these and loved them! I nicknamed them 666 cookies 😉 Though they're hardly devilish with only 6Tbsp of butter and less sugar than a lot of my other recipes! My 3 year old loved them too. Used walnuts and regular wholemeal flour. I will definitely make these again. My husband bought me the flakes version of All-Bran instead of the regular stuff, so I just used a little more and crumbled them up a bit. Thanks so much for this recipe! They're going to feature regularly in our cookie jar!

    Anna,
    Thanks. I 'm glad to hear regular cookies can be made with only the www flour. I'll use it for my next batch.
    Tonight's menu, though, includes red velvet cupcakes. I'm going to make the McCormick's food coloring recipe. Hopefully they'll be a lovely garish red, LOL. I'm going to make the flour + milk type of frosting the Pioneer Woman recently made. I've never tried it before.

    Thanks for the recipe. I try to put healthier ingredients into my baking so at least I am getting some nutrition and don't feel as guilty about indulging...it's sort of healthy right??!! I usually put walnuts into my cookies and use whole wheat flour. I will have to try whole grain flour instead since when using whole wheat my cookies come out dark brown and people think they are burnt!

    Hi Jennifer,

    I like the Eagle Mills too. I think KA's white whole wheat is very good too, but I'm in the habit of buying Eagle Mills because of the price. When I use it, I usually use the full amount in place of all purpose. Sometimes the cookies are a tiny bit drier, but they are still good.

    All Bran comes in the little sticks and little buds. I think you could use either here, but I used the sticks. I usually buy Fiber One, but I decided to buy All Bran since it's their recipe.

    Anna,
    I've almost used up my first bag of Eagle Mills White Whole Wheat flour and really like it. I think it works really well in cookies and bars. I've been hesitant to try it in cakes (other than pancakes-LOL) for fear of it being too "heavy." For cookies I've mixed it 1/2 and 1/2 with AP unbleached flour. For bars, I've used just the WWW flour and they came out fine. I don't know how much "healthier" it actually makes them, but I'm hoping every little bit counts.
    Is AllBran the cereal that looks like little sticks? Or the little pellet-y pieces? (I'm not a cereal eater, other than an occasional craving for Booberries.)
