How to Make Whole Grain Snickerdoodle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup molasses until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (or 1 egg) one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  7. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  9. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
