Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (for drizzle)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
9. For the drizzle, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies before serving.
