Ingredients

- 1 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup whole cane sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 1/2 tbsps sunflower oil
- 1/2 cup milk

Steps
To prepare the whole wheat cookies, I used 50 g of dough for each cookie, resulting in large cookies and about 20 pieces. Alternatively, you can make them with 30 g to yield more cookies.
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, and vanillin.
Then add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon; if you dislike the spicy taste of cinnamon, you can use just one teaspoon or omit it entirely. Add the whole cane sugar and mix the ingredients with a whisk.
Add the eggs and mix the dough well, pour in the sunflower oil, and continue mixing to incorporate it into the dough.
Pour in the milk; if you have lactose intolerance, you can use soy or rice milk; the result will always be excellent. Finally, sift the baking powder and start kneading by hand. The dough should not be too soft but ready to form balls without needing to rest.
Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Flatten the balls and decorate each cookie with an almond, bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Always remember that the cooking time is indicative, so adjust according to your oven. Once the whole wheat cookies are baked, let them cool and enjoy!
