The cookie recipe is BIG but Feel free to halve it.

Let me tell you this:
I have never received so many compliments as I have for these Honey Cookies. It went like hotcakes! Everyone loved them to the last crumbs.
They are simple to make! Go ahead and make 'em. You will not regret it!

Cool. If I didn't have dozens of Miriam Pascal's chocolate chip cookies minus the cc from her first cookbook in my freezer, I'd try them. (Tips: make them small, at 370, and check at 8 minutes.) They also seem like the commercial ones - and I do mean it as a compliment in this case.

Yes! I actually tried to make a fifth of the recipe and I got a few dozen in 2 batches. (large cookie sheet). The first batch was raw in the middle, with the second I raised the temp a little. They were great. But I wouldn't try this again. The conventional wisdom is that 1 lb of flour = 3.5 cups but bags settle. (I used about 3 1/4 cups.) I'd really want to measure the whole bag and do a fifth of that, which is really tedious. If anyone has a tried and true reduced version, I.e. you actually not just did the math but made them, I'd also appreciate it.

If you want to measure flour accurately a food scale is a better choice than a measuring cup. When you weigh it on a scale 1 lb of flour = a lb of flour!

Right. So not having a scale, I'm wondering if anyone's tried and tweaked and can share.
(As an aside, many poskim say that because of how whole wheat flour is made, 5 lbs. isn't 5 actual pounds and a problem re making a bracha. So it's best to use more, IIRC 1/4 of a 5 lb. bag. To be on the safe side, I make 1 1/3 times my 5 lb. recipe and I measure exactly how many cups are in the second bag and take 1/3 because I know it can settle.)

It's easier to convert to 2/5 if you use a 2 pound bag of flour.

I never in my life heard about 5 pounds of whole wheat flour not being considered a true 5 pounds. Scales dont lie. Even if grains shift, or whatever, 5 pounds is 5 pounds.

It has to do with the processing. It's not 5 lbs. of pure flour but has something mixed in that doesn't count to the cheshbon.

So why has it never been mentioned (that Im aware of) in any cookbooks with whole wheat Challah recipes, that to take Challah, Halachically, you need more than a 5 pound bag of flour (with whole wheat flour)?

This is interesting. Can you explain?
In the times of the gemara most people used whole wheat. So I'm guessing that taking challa was calculated according to that.
But maybe the way we calculate it today takes into account that it's white flour?
Or do they make whole wheat these days the same way brown sugar is made- make white sugar and add the molasses back? That might make it an added part.

Yes! I halve the recipe and it comes out perfect.
I recommend to leave the dough overnight in the fridge (covered) and it is then a breeze to work with.
