Chocolate Chip Cookies

(adapted from Equal Exchange and King Arthur flour recipe)

These are a nice variety of basic chocolate chip cookies. Adding some Teff flour added a nutty taste that I liked. You could use buckwheat flour instead or just go with all purpose flour, your choice! They are crispy on the edges and chewy inside, which I love! If you want them chewier, take them out sooner. They will crisp up after they cool…yum!
