Notes
You can try other whole wheats & grains in this cookie as well. If using all soft white wheat by weight it will be the same amount, but if measuring by volume, you will need to add an additional 1/2 cup of soft white wheat flour.
For a Traditional Peanut Butter cookie, you can omit the Chocolate Kiss, and just press the top with a fork in one direction, then the other direction to make hashmarks on the dough balls before baking.
