Easy Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies

I have done enough of Maida cookies for this Christmas, and so this Easy Whole Wheat Shortbread Cookies is for my son who loves cookies.

Nowadays, my Son always carves for some cookies when he takes his snacks box to school. I prefer to avoid store bought cookies because of Maida and other leavening agent. Always I bake it myself and try to make it a bit healthy.

Coming back to the recipe, Shortbread Cookies are a classic cookies that’s made with Maida/All Purpose Flour. It’s a traditional Scottish biscuit, that’s made with one part sugar, two parts butter and three parts oat flour. Modern recipes differ much from this.

Since I am done with all the traditional recipes for this season, I wanted to make it a little bit different and healthy. In particular, I wanted to bake with whole wheat flour. So here is the easy whole wheat shortbread cookies!!
