Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Malted Barley Flour
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp Ginger dried, ground
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Cane Sugar granulated
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Milk or as needed for desired consistency
Garnish
- 6 inch Cinnamon Stick for garnish, or several smaller pieces
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, malted barley flour, ground cinnamon, ground dried ginger, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and cane sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Cool and Garnish
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, garnish with 6-inch cinnamon sticks or smaller pieces.
Storage and Serving
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month. Serve with your favorite beverage. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Cookies
- For extra flavor, toast the whole wheat flour in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before adding it to the dough.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. If it's too wet, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Don't overbake the cookies! They should be lightly golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the center.
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, use Ceylon cinnamon, known for its sweeter and more delicate profile.
