INGREDIENTS
1 Stick Salted Butter, softened
½ c. Sugar plus more for rolling
1/4- 1/2 Tablespoons Rosewater *we accidentally said teaspoons in the video
120 g./ 1 c. Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
120 g./ 1 c. White Whole Wheat Flour
1 Tbs Grated Nutmeg
½ ts.Salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the 2 flours, nutmeg and salt. Stir together so that the nutmeg and salt are distributed evenly.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the rosewater; mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mix; stir thoroughly to combine. We found is best to use our hands to fully incorporate the butter.
Divide dough into 2 separate balls. Form each ball into a log, approximately 1 ½” in diameter.
Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll one of the cookie logs onto the sugar, then use the plastic wrap to wrap the cookie log. Repeat for the second cookie log. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the cookie logs are very firm.
After 2 + hours, remove cookie logs from the refrigerator.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice the cookie logs into ¼” slices; place cut-side down onto the baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle the top of the cookie with additional sugar.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are firm but have not begun to brown.
Remove from oven; leave on cookie sheet for 15 minutes to cool and become firm.
