What is whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour is well known as healthy grain. As you may already know, I will explain it briefly.
Whole wheat flour is like brown rice before it is milled.
Flour like all purpose flour and pastry flour extract some part of wheat before grounding but whole wheat flour is ground whole grain including the epidermis and germ. That's why it has a darker color.
Whole wheat flour nutrition
In terms of nutritional value, it is richer in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, less gluten, and has a lower Glycemic Index than all purpose flour.
It contains less gluten than all purpose flour, the dough is more difficult to hold together and you cannot expect a fluffy texture.
For example, bread made from whole wheat flour tends to be hard or dry.
Also, since the Glycemic Index is low, for those who are concerned about blood sugar levels, whole wheat flour products is more recommended than all purpose flour.
Chocolate
I often buy this dark chocolate(cacao72%), so I used these for this recipe but you can use any type of chocolate.

Firstly preheat an oven to 160C/320F.
- Add ingredients in a bowl : Put maple syrup, oil, and salt in a bowl and blend well, add whole wheat flour and stir.
- Make a dough : Use your hand to hold the dough together. If it's too hard, add some oil to hold it together.

- Cover with chocolate：Spread the melted chocolate on the cookies, or you can dip it, and place on a cooling rack.
Your cookies are ready! Please enjoy after the chocolate is solidified.
I'm not good at covering with chocolate, so it doesn't look perfect(the surface is not even)but the taste is guaranteed!
Besides covering with chocolate, you can also make chocolate sandwich cookies! How you design the cookies is up to you!
