Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cups wheat flour
  • 1 no egg
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter at room temperature
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon baking powder

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.
  • Cling wrap and refrigerate Whole Wheat Cookie Dough!

Notes

  • Room temperature – I always use butter that is soft and at room temperature. Cold butter does not blend smoothly with sugar and egg.
  • Whisking – I whisk butter and sugar until creamy and light. This takes few minutes but it very important for texture.
  • Curdled – When you add egg it looks curdled and separated. Just keep whisking and it will come together.
  • Sieve the flour – I sieve flour before adding to mix. This helps flour blend evenly and gives smooth dough.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour – I always refrigerate before using. This helps dough firm up and becomes easy to roll and shape.
  • Keep it wrapped well – I wrap dough in cling wrap tightly. This prevents it from drying out and keep it fresh longer.
  • Use within one week – The dough keep well for one week in fridge. After that it starts to lose freshness and texture.
