And what I love about this cookie recipe is that the ingredients are SO simple: whole wheat flour, unsalted butter, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla and a tiny bit of salt \u2014 that\u2019s it!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The result is a crunchy, buttery and slightly sweet cookie that is perfectly festive when topped with fun, holiday sprinkles!<\/p>\n
Note you will have to chill the dough for at least two hours and will need a rolling pin and your cookie cutter of choice! I recommend using one that is 2-2.5 inches wide.<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 cup whole wheat flour 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/em><\/p>\n 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature<\/em><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup coconut sugar<\/em><\/p>\n 1 egg yolk<\/em><\/p>\n 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/em><\/p>\n Sprinkles of choice (I use sprinkles by Supernatural that are made without any artificial coloring)<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Set aside<\/p>\n In a larger bowl, add butter and sugar and cream together with an electric hand mixer for about 2 minutes until fluffy<\/p>\n Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat for another minute<\/p>\n Add flour mixture to butter mixture and combine with a rubber spatula. Empty out onto a piece of parchment and form the rest of the dough into a disk with your hands<\/p>\n Place another piece of parchment paper on top of dough and roll out until 1\/4 inch thick<\/p>\n Place in the refrigerator (keep parchment paper on) for 2 hours up to overnight<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper<\/p>\n Remove parchment from chilled dough and use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place on baking sheet an inch apart<\/p>\n Top with sprinkles of choice (pressing them into the cookie slightly) and bake in oven for 18-20 minutes until golden on the edges<\/p>\n Once first batch is in oven, take dough scraps and repeat steps 4-6 just chilling until first batch is out of oven, then cut out more cookies and bake. Repeating with more scraps if you have<\/p>\n Cool baked cookies completely on cooling rack (Note these take best when fully cooled. Store in an air tight container) and enjoy!
