These cookies would be great with frosting! They're a little dull and dry as they are. I think I would make them again if I could frost them but I was just following what the recipe said. Next time icing it up! (They are a good alternative to white flour sugar cookies!)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
In large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and margarine; beat until light and fluffy. Add milk, lemon peel, vanilla and egg; blend well. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes for easier handling.
Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375°F. for 7 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.

These cookies belong on my kitchen table. Since, I have to make them first, they are being featured on Bake with Bizzy, tomorrow evening. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteWHAT FLOUR WOULD YOU USE IN PLACE OF WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE?????

I'm sorry, I don't really make anything gluten free so you'd either have to find a dif recipe or play around until you find a flour that works well. i hear there are some rice and spelt flour that work well!
