Recipe of the Week: Whole Wheat Flour Sugar Cookies 

The following recipe for Whole Wheat Flour Sugar Cookies is from SurvivalBlog reader E.J..

Ingredients

• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp. water
• 2 large eggs
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 oz. white chocolate, melted (optional)
• Buttercream frosting (optional)

Directions

1. Cream together the butter, oil, and sugars until combined.
2. Add the water and eggs, soda, cream of tartar, extract, salt and flour and mix until just combined. Note: Don’t overmix the dough.
3. Using a large cookie scoop (at least 1/4 cup sized) place a scoop of dough on your cookie sheet, spaced 2″ apart.
4. With a glass or flat measuring cup, press down the rounded dough to flatten your cookie. The sides will spread out and open up some.
5.  Preheat your oven to 400°F.
6. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the cookies.
7. Bake in your preheated 400° oven for 8-to-9 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and cool 1 minute on the hot pan. Then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack.
9. Optionally, make the buttercream frosting, and frost the cookies. Drizzle with melted white chocolate.
