You can use either all purpose flour or whole wheat flour. I have made using either and they both turned up well.
Today am sharing the (recipe) and pictures of these classic sugar cookies using whole wheat flour 😀
Now before I share you the recipe, I have to remind you that everyone’s oven heat is different, so please watch these cookies carefully while they are baking as they can get too brown when they are made with whole wheat flour. Guilty, yep, I was watching Friends while baking so some batch are a bit browner than the others LOL
