Whole Wheat Cookies

INGREDIENTS

Wonderful rum-flavored nutty, crunchy taste.

1 stick plus 2 tbsps. butter, room temperature
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsps. sugar
1 egg, room temperature
2 tbsps. rum
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1-3/4 to 2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350° .

Cream butter and sugar in mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg, rum, and vanilla and beat 2 minutes.

Sift the flour and baking powder over the batter and mix until thoroughly blended.

The dough should be fairly stiff and very easy to roll.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and dust the top of the dough with a little flour. Roll out ¼ inch thick and prick all over with a fork.

Cut out 2-1/2 inch scalloped circles with a cookie cutter.

Place 1-½ inches apart on buttered or parchment-lined baking sheets. Gather and re-roll the scraps for more circles.

Bake for 8-12 minutes until firm. Cool on racks.

Makes about 3-1/2 dozen cookies.
