Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Almond milk

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rolling pin
  • Cookie cutters
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetener until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to form a soft dough.
  4. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to roll.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
Baking
  1. Place the cut cookies on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smooth, well-combined dough.
