Chocolate Explosion Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup date sugar I'm tellin' ya, if you haven't tried this yet-it's a great product!
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup black strap molasses unsulphured
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips and/or pieces

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda & powder, salt and sugar.
2. In separate medium bowl, combine oil, syrup, molasses and vanilla (adding the oil to your measuring cup first helps the next two sticky ingredients slide right out!).
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pieces.
4. Form into balls, making sure to add a larger chunk or piece of chocolate for the center, shaping the dough around it.
5. Then, carefully flatten it out a bit and place it on ungreased cookie sheet. Place cookies 2" apart and bake for 9 minutes.
6. Cool on pan for about 1-2 minutes, then place on cooling rack or paper bag to cool longer.
