There’s something undeniably comforting about the aroma of freshly baked cookies wafting through the kitchen. Today, we’re diving into the world of baking with a recipe that’s sure to delight your taste buds: Soft Fresh Milled Chocolate Chip Cookies.
What sets these cookies apart is the use of fresh milled whole wheat flour, which adds a rustic texture and a depth of flavor that’s simply unmatched. Despite being whole wheat, these cookies are incredibly soft and gooey, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s downright irresistible.
One of the things I love most about these cookies is their subtle vanilla flavor. The combination of vanilla extract and brown sugar gives them a warm, comforting taste that pairs perfectly with the rich, gooey chocolate chips.

To make these Soft Fresh Milled Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll need:
- 315 g Soft white wheat flour 2&1/2 cup 1&2/3c wheat BERRIES
- 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
- 228 g Butter softened 1 cup
- 130 g Brown sugar 3/4 cup
- 60 g Sugar 1/4 cup
- 96 g Vanilla pudding powder 3.4oz box (optional)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
- 200 g Chocolate chips 1 cup
- 50 g Walnuts 1/2 cup Optional
Instructions:
This recipe goes pretty quick if you first measure out all ingredients and have them ready to use.
Start by putting the sugar and butter in your mixer and creaming that on a high speed for about 5 min.
While the mixer is working, add the baking soda to the milled flour and stir well.
After 5 minutes of mixing, turn the mixer down and add in the vanilla pudding powder and let beat for 3 min.
Then add eggs and vanilla and beat for another 3 min.
Turn mixer down to a stir and gradually add in flour until there is no more dry flour. Once the flour is in, we don’t want to mix too much. Then add in chocolate chips and walnuts. Allow the mixer to stir those in until well incorporated being mindful to not over mix.
Bake cookies about 1-2 inches apart at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness.
Tip
These cookies also freeze very well. Just shape cookie dough balls and line them up on a parchment lined baking pan. It’s ok if they’re touching. Gently press each ball to lightly flatten. Not completely flat but just so they’re not completely rounded. Put into freezer for 1-3 hours until completely frozen. Once frozen, gently break apart and store in a gallon size freezer safe bag. When ready to bake, pull directly from the freezer and bake from frozen at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

OMG! I used spelt. These were more like an amazing pastry than a regular chocolate chip cookie. They were amazing. My doubtful about whole grains family loved them.
Wow! I’m so glad to hear that! Great job!
All your recipes are amazing! Please post more sweet treats!!! None of your shared recipes have failed me yet! You’re a blessing to our family’s journey with fresh milled flour❤️👍👏
I’m so glad to hear that my recipes have blessed you. I will soon have more sweet treats!
These cookies are phenomenal! I used soft white wheat because that’s what I had on hand and these cookies came out perfect!! Can’t wait to try all your other recipes!
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for sharing!
Not one of your recipes has been a fail. Just made the Chocolate Chip cookies and they were unbelievable. Literally melted in my mouth. Blessings to you for all of us.
These look amazing! I can’t wait to try! May I ask the reason for using the vanilla pudding powder? I am trying hard to avoid prepackaged foods as much as possible. I see that you put it as optional but how much does it change the result if you omit?
Hi Trudie,
The vanilla pudding powder just adds another depth of flavor but they taste wonderful without it! Also, consider my brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe as well! Happy baking!
If I omit the pudding powder, do I need to increase the flour to compensate?
Hi Melissa,
You do not need to increase the flour when removing the pudding powder.
I’m trying to cut out refined sugars. I substitute the sugar with coconut sugar and the brown sugar with brown coconut sugar. They turned out delicious!
I made these today and they taste delicious! They spread a lot more than yours though. I would love a thicker cookie. I omitted the vanilla pudding and I do use Just Panela as the sugar. It’s an unrefined and unprocessed sugar. Anyways…any pointers would be great!
