Wholemeal Cookies

Saw this recipe on Happy Home Baking's Blog ... Wholemeal flour is used, and I thought it is a healthier way of baking cookies than just using plain flour. These cookies were not too sweet, very crunchy, and the wholemeal flour gave the cookies a very unique flavor!

100g Butter, soften

80g Caster Sugar

1 Egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

100g Plain Flour

150g Wholemeal Flour

1/4 tsp Baking Powder

• Preheat oven to 180C.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Beat in egg and gradually add vanilla. Mix well.
• Sift flour and baking powder over. Add wholemeal flour.
• Fold in gently.
• Mix and gather to form a dough. The dough will be soft.
• Shape into a round flat disc and wrap in cling wrap.
• Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
• Between sheets of paper or plastic, roll the dough to 5mm thick.
• Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
• Chill the cut out dough in the fridge for a while before baking them : It prevents the dough from spreading too much during baking.
• Dip the cookie cutters into flour to prevent the cut out dough from sticking to the cutter.
• Bake 15 - 20 minutes.

I hope the kids will like these cookies when they come home from school later ... it will be darling son KW's snacks for school tomorrow!
