Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to create a slightly flattened disc.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your whole wheat sugar cookies plain, or decorate them with icing and sprinkles for extra flair. Enjoy!
