How to Make Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup raw sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 1/4 cup ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Avoid over-kneading.
  6. Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 15x10 inch baking pan.
  7. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the shortbread cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
