How to Make Whole Wheat Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
