Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup Bob's Red Mill Whole-Wheat Pastry Flour
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Unbleached All-purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg white
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk flours, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the egg white, vanilla, and almond extract, beat until combined.
  • To the butter mixture, add flour mixture, and mix until incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Once dough is ready, preheat oven to 325°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with all-purpose flour and place chilled dough directly onto the work surface. Roll dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes in dough, and gently transfer them to baking sheets. Re-roll dough scraps into new large pieces of dough.
  • Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until the edges look golden but not browned. Remove cookies from oven, and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the icing, whisk together all the icing ingredients in a large bowl until completely smooth. Mixture should have consistency of a glaze. If you want a thicker glaze, add a little more sugar and any food coloring you like.
  • Ice cookies by icing the edges first and then filling it in. Let icing harden before serving. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate dough for up to 5 days and freeze dough up to 30 days.

Tips for Soft Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that you have the correct proportions of each ingredient, which is essential for a successful cookie recipe.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too dry.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. This will help to distribute the leavening agents evenly throughout the dough.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to firm up the dough and make it easier to roll out.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
