Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups (157g) whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
• 1 tablespoon cornflour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup (113g) softened butter
• ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
• ½ cup (115g) caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (61g) milk
• ¼ cup (40g) chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy.

Sift in the whole wheat flour, cornflour, and baking soda. Mix until the dough has a sandy texture.

Add milk gradually to bring the dough together. Fold in the chocolate chips.

2. Refrigerate the Dough:

Cover the dough and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Cook on the Stovetop:

Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Scoop small portions of dough and flatten them slightly into cookie shapes.

Place the cookies on the skillet, leaving space between them as they will spread slightly.

4. Cook Until Done:

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5–7 minutes on low heat, or until the bottom is golden brown.

Flip the cookies gently and cook for another 3–4 minutes until both sides are cooked through.

5. Cool and Serve:

Remove the cookies from the skillet and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

TipsUse a heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking.

Keep the heat low to prevent burning.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
