ABOUT Whole wheat eggless butter cookies RECIPE

Butter cookies are usually prepared using all purpose flour, but to make them more wholesome and healthy, I substituted all purpose flour with Whole wheat flour. And the result was simply fantastic. The cookies tasted crunchy and delicious. Since these cookies are egg less, vegetarians can also try this. This recipe yields nearly 2 dozen cookies.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 and 1/3 cup Whole wheat flour
2/3 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp rice flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
Milk (2 to 3 tsp if necessary)

Instructions

Take a dry bowl, add butter and powdered sugar and mix well with a whisk to form a smooth paste.
Then add vanilla essence, whole wheat flour and rice flour and knead to form a smooth but firm dough.
Add milk only if necessary
Now preheat the oven at 160 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
Grease an aluminium tray with butter, take small balls from the dough, flatten them and place them on the tray leaving some space in between as they tend to expand on baking.
Place the tray in the central rack of the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or till the cookies are slightly brown and firm.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cool down completely.
Transfer the cookies to an airtight container and serve with tea.
