Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups wheat flour
  • 1 no egg
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate glaze

Instructions

  • To a mixing bowl - add powdered sugar and butter. Whisk well until creamy.
  • Add vanilla essence and egg. Whisk well. It will look like curdling, do not panic but keep whisking.
  • After few mins, it will become creamy, gather together. Place a sieve over the mixing bowl - add wheat flour.
  • Add baking powder and salt. Sieve well to the mixing bowl.
  • Gather together to form a soft dough. Cling wrap it and refrigerate it. The dough will be soft so refrigerate at least for a hour then use it. It keeps well at least for a week.
  • Roll between butter paper to avoid sticking. Roll it to 1/4 inch thickness, take your favorite cookie cutter.
  • Cut shapes using the cutter. Arrange it in baking tray lined with butter paper.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 10-12 mins or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool down completely. Prepare the chocolate glaze and keep it ready.
  • Take a cookie and dip it in. You can make icing cone and draw too. I made it simple by just dipping in chocolate glaze.
  • Let it cool down then store Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies.

Notes

  • I used homemade wheat flour. You can use white flour or wheat flour as per your preference.
  • You can use chocolate glaze or just melt cooking chocolate and use it too.
