Tutti Frutti Cookies with Whole Wheat flour

 Ingredients:

• Whole Wheat flour*- 1 cup
• Butter -1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (Cold Butter Stick)
• Icing / Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup
• Tutti Frutti - 1/3 cup
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
• Milk - 1/2 - 2 tbsp (adjust as per consistency)

*Here i used White Whole Wheat flour and so needed just 1/2 tbsp of milk

Method:

1. In a mixing bowl, add the cold butter pieces and powdered sugar and beat well for 3-4 mins until it becomes soft and creamy
   
   
   
   
2. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well
   
3. Now add the wheat flour and tutti frutti and mix gently until it gets combined well
   
4. Add about 1/2 to 1 tbsp of milk and make it into a soft dough
   
5. Lay a butter paper / plastic sheet, place the dough over it and make it to form a cylindrical log (if its too sticky, we can dust flour if needed)
6. Tightly wrap or roll it with the butter paper / sheet and place it in freezer for an hour (Chilling makes the butter gets solidified and also makes the cookies flaky and less spread while baking)
   
7. Pre heat the oven to 350 F for 10 mins
8. Remove the log from the freezer and slice them into circular dics with sharp knife. Cookies should be little thick and not so thin
   
9. Line a cookie sheet/ tray with parchment paper and place the cookies over it, by leaving enough space between them
   
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 mins until the edges started to brown
    
11. Once its done, remove it from the tray after 3-4 mins and place it on wire rack to cool down. While taking out, the cookies will be soft but will get crisp on cooling down
    
12. Then store it in airtight container; The crispiness will reduce after 2 days but still the soft cookies tastes great!
