Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

As a self-proclaimed cookie connoisseur, I am never one to turn down freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I love whole wheat bread and whole wheat flour, so if you're not a whole wheat person - skip this recipe.

I adapted this recipe from the label on a package of Butter Flavored Crisco, made a few tweaks and have to say these are quite delicious! I would not say they are "healthy" but I would say they're "healthier" than the average cookie. Still looking for another substitute for the crisco. I'm sure I could use coconut oil & applesauce, but that's for another day.
