Sugar Cookies with Fresh Milled Flour
Tender, buttery cut-out sugar cookies with whole grain goodness baked in!
Ingredients
- 1.5 Sticks Butter Room Temperature
- 200 grams granulated sugar (1 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 330 grams whole wheat flour (2 3/4 cup)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- frosting or coarse sugar of your choice for decorating
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add in your softened butter and sugar. Beat on medium speed for five minutes until the butter is white and fluffy.
- Add your eggs into the bowl and continue mixing for one minute until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- In a separate large bowl, combine your flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to make sure all ingredients are evenly dispersed.
- Add dry ingredients into mixer bowl in three parts, pulsing in until just incorporated. Place dough in an airtight container or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 335 degrees. Remove dough ball from the fridge and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with your favorite cookie cutter or a canning ring.
- Place cut-outs onto a baking sheet leaving 1 inch space between cookies. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are just slightly beginning to brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding frosting. Enjoy!
