Whole-Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm a 44 year old guy that over the years has become a conisuer of cookie dunking with milk. This was the first time I have ever, ever baked cookies! I cannot believe how fantastic they came out. What a great recipe. All I did was add Reeses Peanut Butter chips to teh chocolate ones and WOW! They soak up the milk and "explode" in your mouth!!! Amazing!
