Low Sugar Cookies
Kids will love this recipe for low sugar cookies that are as fun to cut out and decorate as they are to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a bowl and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix together the dough. If needed, add a few more drops of milk to bring it together. Then knead the dough a few times with your hands.
- Now flatten the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic. Refrigerate while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Roll the dough to about ¼-½-inch thick between two pieces of lightly floured parchment paper or on a floured counter.
- Cut out the dough with a cookie cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Thicker cookies will take longer to bake!
- Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for a minute, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make a quick icing, mix 1¼ cups of powdered sugar with a few drops of milk and food coloring. Add more sugar if it is too thin to spread. Paint onto the cookies with a clean paintbrush.
