peanut butter cookies with fresh flour

When I made the last batch of bread, I intentionally milled more flour than I needed. Partly because I needed more flour for the previous batch, but also because I wanted to bake some cookies. As I bake more I want to use more milled flour and less white flour.

Anyways I used this recipe:

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

cream butter and sugars, beat in peanut butter, add egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl sift together flour, soda, and salt then combine and beat until mixed well. Bake at 350for 10-12 minutes


I used about 1 1/2 cups milled flour and the rest white flour. And I baked them probably 14-15 minutes. The end result was that they tasted ok, but a little gritty. Definatley willhave to grind the flour on the pastry setting to see if it would make any difference.
