Whole Sugar Cookies: Easy Recipe

This recipe makes soft, chewy cookies that are perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
6. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or the bottom of a glass.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the edges.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict:

These whole sugar cookies are soft and chewy with a slight crunch on the edges. The use of whole wheat flour gives them a nutty flavor and a denser texture that pairs perfectly with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.

Serving suggestions:

• Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream
