The ultimate chocolate chip cookie

I love cookies, but not overly sweet ones. This recipe is just right, with lots of chocolate chips. I adapted it from the Moosewood Restaurant New Classics *my favorite recipe book.

You need:

3/4 cup coconut oil (or butter)
1 cup sucanat (or brown sugar but sucanat gives them a nice dark colour and rich taste)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat or spelt flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla 
2 tbsp water (or milk if you prefer)
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (organic of course)

Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together the flours, soda, and salt. Add this to the butter mixture and mix some more. Add chocolate chips and mix. Drop by the tablespoon full onto baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool. Eat. Makes 12 big ones.
