Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will be quite thick.
- Gradually pour in the milk while mixing on low speed, just until the dough comes together and is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies may look slightly underdone, but they will continue to set as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
