Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.25 cup Virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, virgin olive oil, and honey until light and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
