Shredded Wheat Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups shredded wheat cereal (You can use plain or frosted or any fancy flavor you choose to take advantage of. The taste will obv)
2 cups milk chocolate chips, divided
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease a large baking sheet or two.
Combine the shredded wheat and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips in the food processor. Blend until it is finely ground.
Cream together the butter and the two sugars in a very large bowl.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in the shredded wheat mixture.
Add the remaining chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment with adding other things like white chocolate or dark chocolate chips, nuts, M&M's, toffee pieces, anything you like.
Drop by flat tablespoons onto the lightly greased baking sheets and pop them into the oven.
Check them after 8 minutes or so. Depending on the pan you use, they could be done or it could take as much as 12-15 minutes.
Pull them out when the edges are slightly browned and the middle looks soft and squishy, but isn't doughy.
Make sure you cool them completely before packing in an airtight container. When they are suitable to pack, they can stay at room temperature for awhile.
